New Orleans, May 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Tapping into the global celebration of all things NOLA during its tri-centennial, the newly reimagined Jung Hotel & Residences of the New Orleans Hotel Collection is requesting a homecoming of sorts for its earliest memorabilia. Between June 1 -30, “The Jung Memorabilia Comes Home” invites guests to bring back branded items dated between 1907 to 1971 .

Consider it a trip down memory lane: Memorabilia includes printed programs, post cards and any items with The Jung Hotel logo, including pens, clocks, napkins, swivel sticks, ashtrays, and more.
The hotel will offer a cash buy back for all items surrendered. Guests will also receive a complimentary voucher for two drinks at the new Jung Bar and will be placed in a contest for “best item.” The winner will be rewarded a free overnight stay.
