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."

Fodor's "One of the more elegant options on Bourbon Street, this large white-marble property is a replica of the grand 1800s St. Louis Hotel, with columns, gilt mirrors, and magnificent chandeliers." Full review
DK Eyewitness "One of the largest hotels in the French Quarter, the Omni Royal is known for its attentive service."

Ask for a “get fit” guest room and get your own treadmill and supply of healthy snacks.
Gayot "A white stucco exterior and lacy iron balconies give the building the image of age, as do the chandeliers, gilt mirrors and tons of marble."

Star Service "In an area thick with art galleries and antiques shops, this hotel offers an excellent commercial location in the heart of the French Quarter, even if its guest rooms are on the small side." Full review
