The Bar/Lounge at Hyatt Regency New Orleans

"A minimalist black-lacquered desk/minibar combo sports an Internet-enabled flat-screen TV; a matching armoire in the entryway gets paired with a faux alligator-hide dressing bench"

"A large saltwater pool features cabanas, plenty of lounge chairs, and a full poolside bar"

"Dining and drinks venues include Borgne, a coastal Louisiana seafood restaurant from chef John Besh; 8 Block Kitchen & Bar, a large full-service restaurant with private dining; Vistascope, with 25 flat-screen TVs; and Whole Hog Café, serving classic barbecue"

""Wow" coo "impressed" admirers of this recently reopened "gorgeous" chain outpost, a "gigantic" high-rise situated "close to the Dome" and delivering a "high-class" experience thanks to "comfortable", "well-decorated" quarters, many with "fabulous" views; though critics fault "hit-or-miss" service, fans insist you'll be "treated very well" by the "knowledgeable" staff, and with "many great" bars and restaurants on-site and a "relaxing" rooftop pool, staying here is "a pleasure"

"Wi-Fi exacts a fee everywhere except the Club Level guest rooms and the lounge"
