Hyatt Regency New Orleans Reopens. Nagin.

19 Oct 2011. New Orleans, Louisiana.
L/R Seletha Smith Nagin, former Mayor Ray Nagin, Michael Smith (Gen manager Hyatt New Orleans) and Chris Robertson (managing partner Poydras Hotel Members LLC) following the official reopening of the Hyatt Regency Hotel following a $275 million redevelopment. The iconic hotel became a symbol of hurricane Katrina when all the glass was blown from her facade. Nagin's administration temporarily took over the hotel as their headquarters in the immediate aftermath of the storm. Over 6 years later the all new, ultra modern 1,193 room hotel and conference center adjacent the Mercedes Benz Superdome is once again open for business.
