Frommer's "The Columns is worth a stay if you can get a low rate; otherwise, come by for a drink." Full review
Fodor's "This white-columned 1883 Victorian hotel drips with local charm and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places." Full review
Travel + Leisure "That a landmark so rife with atmosphere could also function as a workaday tavern is one of the Columns’s singular charms." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This small hotel is famous as the set for the Louis Malle film Pretty Baby and has plenty of fans for its laid-back ambience."
Rough Guide "Deliciously atmospheric uptown hotel in a stately 1883 mansion on the streetcar line."
Gayot "This hotel was built in an opulent Italianate style in 1883. Locals meet for drinks on its huge front porch that, flanked by the hotel's namesake columns, faces St. Charles Avenue."
BlackBook "The Columns is where to stay if you're doing the whole antebellum New Orleans routine, though the mansion itself--fronted by immense, Doric columns--was constructed after the Civil War."
Lonely Planet "This stately 1883 Italianate mansion in the Garden District is both elegant and relaxed, boasting all sorts of extraordinary original features." Full review
Not For Tourists "A step back in time, and home to one of uptown's preeminent bars."

"Take a "step back in time" at this "charming", "congenial" Mid-City B&B, housed in a "lovely" Colonial Revival, where the "efficient", "accommodating" staff pays "special attention to detail"."
Fodor's "This elegant bed-and-breakfast near the intersection of Canal Street and North Carrollton Avenue offers rooms furnished with beautiful antiques." Full review
Frommer's "A quiet, nondescript Mid-City neighborhood unexpectedly houses this splendid B&B, antiqued but not frilly...largest rooms are on the second floor, where the impressive decor ends at the bathroom door" Full review
