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."

Star Service "At Bourbon Street, across from the St. Louis Cathedral, this remarkable 1815 structure is a four-story evocation of Vieux Carre architecture with celery-green filigree." Full review
Gayot "Its elegant marble lobby strikes a demure tone and provides a dramatic contrast to the rowdy street scene outside."
BlackBook "Sensible and unpretentious, the Bourbon Orleans is the luxury hotel for those who feel the top of the line places get a bit too over the top."
Not For Tourists "Do you believe in ghosts? America's most haunted hotel..."
