New Orleans
Driftwood Room
The Driftwood Room is an Old Hollywood dream tucked inside the Hotel deLuxe, serving craft cocktails since 1954. Accessed discreetly from the lobby, this retro-chic bar wraps you in polished wood, purple-backed shelving, and genuinely inviting leather banquettes. The vibe is pure Golden Age glamour with moody wall sconces and shark skin railings that make you feel like you've stepped into a 1940s film set. Their mixologists craft custom cocktails with names drawn from Hollywood legends, and Architectural Digest has called it one of the 20 best-designed hotel bars in the US. Try the Manhattan flights or grab a bar bite while soaking in the elegant, timeless atmosphere.
