Extremely overpriced for the experience. $90 for a lounge chair that is falling apart and is thin, uncomfortable, and in the shade is ridiculous. $30 to enter would be fair if it included one of the lower quality lounge chairs. There are only a few lounge chairs that are cushioned and nicer. It does not make sense that both types of lounge chairs cost the same when one type is so much worse. More vegetarian options on the menu would be great, perhaps even a grilled cheese, not just salads.

Went here for the first time recently on a date, just to grab drinks at the bar. Even though we were there in the middle of happy hour we were the only customers there. We sat at the bar, and I ordered some tequila cocktail from the menu. That was when the bartender told me he wasn't actually a bartender (even though he did work at the hotel, I made sure) and he needed to look at the recipe card to make the drink. That was fine, I understood, whatever, but then he handed me a drink that was completely different from what I ordered. It was actually really gross. My drink was supposed to have tequila, sour, some raspberries I believe, and I was given a glass of tequila, blackberries, jalapeños (??) and water I was willing to order something else but we never even saw our "bartender" again. We had to ask the person checking IDs to get our ticket. The hotel is gorgeous and we liked the vibes, but the service was seriously lacking that night. Maybe I would try again on a busier night, but this experience really was a let down.

Came here for a pool day during the week! The place was super clean and tanning chairs were comfy! They have lounge chairs or day beds for rent. The pool was a little small but clean. Bartender was awesome, super nice and speedy making drinks. Bathrooms were air conditioned and clean!! Drinks were priceyyyy so bring your wallet lol but they were strong and tasty. I would come back!

The rooftop setting allows for a gentle breeze that complements the enchanting surroundings.The cocktail menu is a testament to creativity and craftsmanship.

This place is such a summer vibe! The view is absolutely amazing, drinks are good and the pool is a nice size. It's beautiful at night, can't comment on service as of yet but I'll return and pay more attention to that for an update.

Rooftop patio, pool, bar NOLA Bohemian!! Great vibes! Great service!! Aston and Angel know “service” and truly could be held up as models for the service industry!! The cocktails are “summer gems” for an enjoyable “paradise” experience on a patio that exudes vibes of relax, unwind and imagine you are in “PARADISE”!

We were walking all over NOLA and stopped by here strictly for a drink on the rooftop and it didn’t disappoint. It was a quiet day so we got plenty of room to pull up to one of the fire pits and relax for a bit before we got back to exploring.

The pool is a nice spot to hang out in if you’re staying at the hotel, but the food at Alto is not worth it. They advertise freshly squeezed orange juice on their menu but it’s just regular store bought OJ, and their salad bowl was also quite disappointing.
Visiting from northern Canada, lunch at Alto was a highlight of the trip. Gorgeous rooftop bar with both pool lounge chairs and a few bistro tables. We visited around the lunch hour so it wasn't crazy busy, but with the cool vibe and hip atmosphere, I suspect it gets much busier throughout the day/night. They have a great menu to enjoy with equally great music alongside the beautiful pool.We ordered the eternal summer cocktail, hummus with veg/pita, a mixed salad, and caprese panini with chips. Staff were friendly and laid back but service took a looong time. Confusion in the kitchen or something but hummus arrived after we were finished eating and they didn't really come by to check on the meal or refill water. That being said, the food and atmosphere are wonderful, I would both recommend and definitely go back the next time I visit.

Ridiculous that this place is trying to charge $30 per person to walk in and have the pleasure of patronizing their bar!! Like it's the only good bar in New Orleans?!? Wake up there plenty of other amazing bars in this great city that would never charge to just walk in, in fact in my 25 years of coming here that's the very first time, even the best bars in New York City don't charge.

Shabby and lacks class. The cocktails were average taste and when I pay $14+ for one (in what should be a nice setting) I expect a glass rather than a plastic cup. Has potential for the owners but currently would not waste your time since there are many other better places.

Great place to grab drinks with a view of the New Orleans skyline. Wish they had better lighting in some of the seating areas though.

Very comfortable rooms and the bar fixes the perfect martini. All the staff were most helpful. Recommended.
