NEW ORLEANS—DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel New Orleans has named Frank Cook as its new general manager.
Cook brings more than 30 years of leadership in the hospitality industry. His experience includes serving as vice president of operations for Hospitality America, where he oversaw 19 Hilton and Marriott-branded properties.
“Delivering the very best to our guests is my top priority,” Cook says. “It’s an honor to step into this new role in a city with such a rich culture. I am eager to work alongside the DoubleTree team to bring more guests to our vibrant hotel.”
Cook is set to steer the property into a new chapter of elevated guest experiences and innovation.
Situated on Canal Street at the gateway to the French Quarter and operated by Dimension Hospitality, DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel New Orleans is undergoing a $5 million renovation, scheduled for completion in 2026. The project includes refreshing all 367 guest rooms, the lobby, restaurant, pool, ballrooms, and meeting areas.
“The recent upgrades to our rooms, lobby, ballroom, and meeting venues showcase our commitment to creating beautiful, functional spaces that match the energy of our city,” says Kenneth Shore, senior regional director of operations for Dimension Hospitality. “Together with Dimension Hospitality’s support and Cook’s leadership, we’re confident in our ability to build on our strong reputation and elevate our guest experience in every corner of the property.”
Guests can expect modernized rooms overlooking the Central Business District or the Mississippi River, while the newly refreshed ballroom will provide a sophisticated space designed to host conferences, weddings, and milestone celebrations with a distinct New Orleans flair.
