Best KPortal Reviews
Do not pay for day pass and DEFINITELY do not pay for chairs as we did. When greeted it took time to find our reservation. We were told to sit anywhere we could find. There were no open seats and we were told they would make room for us. We went to the bar and got some drinks. When we returned to the host stand we were greeted as if we had just arrived. We reminded him that someone needed to find us a seat and they started the process again. Other guests without reservations were asked to move. Two more comfortable seats were vacated at the same time and we were told we could sit there. About 30 minutes later those guests returned and we were made to get up and wait for them to eject two more guests. It took an hour and a half to finally be seated. For the majority of the time, the pool had 75 to 100 people in it and there was no room for more. Eventually it thinned out and were were able to go in. The water, however, was extremely cloudy and dense, enough so that you could not see your feet. The setting was beautiful and could have been a great time but was definitely not inviting enough to try again
My wife and I bought day passes thinking it was a beautiful day to enjoy a couple of drinks and sit poolside. Great of your a hotel guess but if not and you're just buying a day pass ($30 each) your relegated to a shaded area with metal furniture that can beat be described as medieval torture devises. The only saving grace was the staff was nice and the food was decent. But I'm sorry if I'm paying money just to come up there, I should get full access. 0/10 do not recommend.
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.
Such a cute vibe! My friend and I stumbled upon this rooftop pool and bar after deciding Bourbon st was an immediate no. They had a dj playing good music (good balance of hip hop/pop/etc). And it wasn’t too crowded, very laidback chill vibe. The bartenders were friendly, and they use fresh ingredients for the margarita ????
There was a $20 cover when we went but worth it for the vibe. We’ll definitely look into staying at the hotel itself for our next visit!
OMG LOVE this place! Everything from the entrance to the lobby bar to the rooftop patio is so cute! The views are more of the ‘inner city’- meaning between the high rises, and you can only see it at certain parts of the patio that you sit. But the views outside the rooftop isn’t going to be your main focus because between the pool, the garden and the lounge chairs the whole deck is a roof garden of paradise. They do have space heaters near the bar, but if it’s still too cold, the downstairs bar is also a great indoor garden! We just saw it through passing but I wouldn’t mind having a drink there.
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.
Alto was a neat stop on our trip to New Orleans! Even if you aren't staying at the hotel, you can come to the bar and hang out for a bit. The views were really nice and the atmosphere was chill and enjoyable. Would recommend the slushy bar drinks!
So, I'm not mad at this place. We came here for Happy Hour on a Thursday. Perfect weather for a rooftop bar and pool. The Palomas were delicious. I believe they were only 6 dollars. Before happy hour started, I had a Bloody Mary. I'd definitely order another if I go back. The happy hour Fish Tacos... when they were brought to me, we all laughed. You literally get a tiny piece of fish. For Alto, invest on the smaller tortillas! The pieces of fish will look bigger on a smaller tortilla. They were definitely tasty though. The music was hard to hear. The volume could have been a little louder. From what we did hear... definitely not "rooftop bar" music. It seemed very mellow. If that's what you're into then you'd enjoy it. We wanted music you can dance to or music that makes you dance in your seat or even sing to.
