Four Seasons New Orleans has unveiled a thrilling and wholly unprecedented dining experience for its guests, in which diners will have the opportunity to enjoy a private dinner beside a collection of some of the world’s most notable Impressionist paintings.
Featuring paintings by artists such as Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Camille Pissarro, the Dinner with Impressionists experience is hosted in the city’s M.S. Rau gallery, and will consist of a seven-course dinner prepared by executive sous chef Kelley Schmidt.
“As an arbiter of best-in-class luxury experiences, we are excited to debut this enriching suite package for our guests that combines our outstanding service and accommodations with access to masterpieces at M.S. Rau, celebrating the intersection of fine art, cuisine and culture,” said Mali Carow, general manager of Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans.

“Designed as part of an unparalleled stay in one of our two breathtaking Presidential Suites, the experience is perfect for a special celebratory proposal, anniversary, birthday or any occasion where guests are seeking an unforgettable evening in one of America’s most culturally rich destinations.”
Also included in the experience is the presence of rare jewelry, with the opportunity to try on individual pieces of great historical and cultural significance. An example of such a piece is a luxe 38-carat Golconda diamond necklace by Harry Winston, which was once owned by Greek heiress Christina Onassis.
