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."
