Alto at Ace Hotel New Orleans

Premium Seating

Complimentary Seating

$30/per person (plus fee for buying the passes...) is way too much for this tiny pool. They also seem to have a new rule about where you're even allowed to sit if you don't have a room, which is, like, two patio tables in the very back corner of the roof. It's pretentious and silly to have such an expensive pass (bro, we're buying your $15 cocktails and $20 pizzas...) that makes it seem like your patronage is a burden on the business...treat locals better, thanks. Would go back if price is not insultingly high. 

WAY too pricey

I didn’t realize that booking this wouldn’t guarantee a lounge chair since only day beds aside from this were available. We were then quoted $300/day for a pool bed while we were up there even though it was $150 for four hours. This is more expensive than spending a night at the hotel!

There’s not much comfortable place to sit - a few upholstered chairs but most are metal and also in the shade. 

I get that they need to keep the loungers for hotel guests but there’s got to be some system where they can give some of them out to the public for a price. I would have even paid $50 for a lounger. 

Nice but not great

Enjoy a rooftop pool, fine dining, and a dose of culture at this boutique hotel in the heart of New Orleans.
