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."

Gayot "This hotel is just three blocks from the tourist-crammed French Quarter and within shouting distance of the always-booked Ernest N. Morial Convention Center."
BlackBook "Hotel suites with exposed brick may not be something you're used to, but it's part of that N'awlins flavor."
Fodor's "This is a good alternative to the huge convention hotels; you're just steps from the major downtown attractions and the Convention Center, and Harrah's New Orleans Casino is a five-minute walk." Full review
Star Service "It provides a vintage warehouselike atmosphere that runs counter to the cool corporate look of the neighboring commercial giants hereabouts." Full review

"Much of the hotel still retains historic elements from the building's 19th-century past, including brick walls, wood-plank floors, and exposed piping." Full review
Travel + Leisure "This new addition to the Central Business/Arts District is certainly helping to tempt guests out of their beloved French Quarter." Full review
Jetsetter "A unique boutique gem in a historic Big Easy building, with an art-centric cultural bent." Full review

"Artistic leanings, innovative cuisine and bohemian flair converge in this Central Business District property." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "This stylish stay has become something of a neighbourhood hero thanks to eye-catching artwork by local artists and a tantalising eatery that tops every visiting foodie’s must-try list." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Right on the edge of the CBD, this hotel feels extremely thoughtful—not to mention comfortable." Full review
