HISTORY

The Jung Hotel is situated on Canal Street between the BioMedical District and the Theater District in New Orleans.  The Mercedes Benz Superdome, Smoothie King Center and historic French Quarter are minutes away from the hotel.  In 1927, the renowned New Orleans architectural firm of Weiss and Dreyfus designed the 10-story building, a mix of Renaissance and Baroque styles.  In 1928, a $2,500,000, 18-story addition was completed.  A marble fountain in the lobby sprayed water “into a gossamer veil of untold colors and combinations.” Each of the 700 rooms had a bath and “fancy spreads with the words “Jung Hotel” embroidered on them.” Among the furnishings were novelties like an overstuffed chair, reading lamp, running ice water, a ceiling fan and Servitor, which allowed attendants to leave packages, or remove laundry from the guest room doors. Marble and terrazzo Turkish Baths marketed as providing a “rejuvenated peppy feeling,” catered to both men and ladies (on separate days, of course). There was also a beauty parlor and barber shop, but topping it all off was “the brightest spot in the night life of New Orleans,” the Roof Garden, which boasted the first retractable roof in New Orleans. It became the focal point of the city’s social scene, hosting ladies’ bridge luncheons of Crab à la Newburg during the day and supper-dances at night.

In 1936, guest rooms were remodeled, and a year later, the Tulane Room, large enough for 2,000 persons to “dance in comfort,” opened on the mezzanine with “the latest type of motion picture projection and sound equipment.”  As manager Arthur F. Landstreet remarked at the opening, “It is our desire to give New Orleans the type of dance music the city deserves.” Inaugural acts included George Hamilton, who composed the hit song “Betty Co-ed,” and his Music Box Orchestra, and a floor show by Jerry and Turk, a popular Jitterbug dance team. In a nod to its name, the venue held a “Tulane Night,” where Tulane University students presented their own floor show.

After being the Toast of the Town throughout the 40's, it was at the beginning of the 1950's, that the Jung once again received a facelift, deeming it “the South’s largest and newest peak in New Orleans’ skyline.” With a new 4OO-room, 13-story addition, the hotel now offered 1,200 rooms and suites, two cocktail lounges, a redecorated Tulane Room, air-conditioned meeting rooms, and a new barber shop, coffee shop, and drugstore.  A highlight of the renovations was the new Cotillion Lounge, a two-level room with gold fabric walls, Swedish glass sconces in a leaf and flower design, and a plaster mermaid plaque lighted by copper sea shells. 

Countless celebreties and dignitaries frequented the hotel thoughout the 50's and 60's and the Jung was touted as the “South’s largest convention hotel located in the heart of America’s Most Interesting City!”  During these decades it became the hotel for major conventions as well as Mardi Gras balls, high school proms, and political and community events.  From 1971 to 2012 the Jung changed hands four times and was closed twice. A bright spot during this period was that the Jung was added to the National Register of Historical Places in 1982. Today, as a member of the New Orleans Hotel Collection, a locally-owned company known for breathing new life into historic hotels, the Jung Hotel and Residences is poised for former glory. A 1928 advertisement for the “New Jung Hotel“ is as relevant for the latest incarnation of the Jung hotel as it was then. “There must be more than fineness for comfort and enjoyment. There must be a hospitality of spirit as well as of physical fitness. There must be a lasting welcome that makes itself felt even after you have left the hotel. Such are we trying to make the New Jung.”
