Frommer's "While we have strong feelings indeed about staying in more New Orleans-appropriate, site-specific accommodations, we cheerfully admit that this is one fun hotel, and what is New Orleans about if not fun?" Full review
Lonely Planet "You have to hand it to W – this suave chain does things right." Full review

"The W New Orleans is a hip upper-middle-range hotel located in the Central Business District, within walking distance of both the French Quarter and the Museum District." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This seriously hip hotel has more going for it than design. Rooms have super-luxurious beds and all the electronic amenities."
Star Service "This 23-story tower of reflecting glass is the trendiest of the bunch, thanks to its uber-contemporary decor and club scene courtesy of Rande Gerber's Whiskey Blue lounge." Full review
BlackBook "The W puts the L.A. in Nola. Like its sister hotels, its rooms and lobby boasts striking colors and sharp angles, all of it easy on the eye."
Zagat3.8
"Attracting the "younger set", these "cutting-edge" digs "close to the French Quarter" provide "luxurious" "fun" with "chic" public spaces and "typical W bars and crowds"."
Gayot "This hotel is giddy with ironic design twists, from the waiting bed in the lobby to the mega-size chairs in the sarcastically stocked library."
Fodor's "This hip property won't disappoint loyal W fans, with its sleek blend of East Coast sophistication and Southern charm." Full review
Star Service "Although the room count here is quite high, the hallmark touchpoints and French amenities make a strong impression.

"Straddling two busy French Quarter streets, the historic Bienville House is as an urban oasis, with tropical rooftop terraces and a soothing courtyard." Full review
Star Service "These units are just as lovely as the other digs, and they are also some of the quietest rooms in this part of the city.

Gayot "Well located a few blocks into the French Quarter, the Bienville offers good access to the convention center, Harrah's casino and the CBD."
The Telegraph8.0
"There’s an intimate yet stately feel to this low-profile property on the edges of the French Quarter, and the historic tradition of hospitality in this location shines through despite its modest size." Full review
Frommer's "This boutique hotel, owned by the Monteleone, injects a touch of class here and there...rooms are showing their age, but have high ceilings and French reproduction furnishings" Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"The Bienville is the definition of a well-executed historic French Quarter hotel." Full review
