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

"High ceilings and a fairly spacious layout... make this a potentially well-priced (if slightly generic) choice, already popular among business groups for its meeting rooms and location." Full review

Many rooms feature balconies overlooking Bourbon or Dauphine street, which you might want to avoid if you're a light sleeper -- or request if you hanker after the party action.
