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."

Frommer's "It's got the luxury one would want from a more modern hotel, plus a certain sultry, decadent languor." Full review
Concierge "The W chain's minimalist, sophisticated aesthetic works particularly well at this cozy historic property."
Fodor's "This modern hotel has one of the best locations in the Quarter, and its rooms are designed with funky jazz and tarot themes." Full review
DK Eyewitness "W tries to find a middle ground between postmodern and French Quarter non-modern in this stylish hotel."
Star Service "With fewer than 100 stylish quarters to look after, standards and service levels are higher than what is usually expected from this chain." Full review
Gayot "The renovated W in the French Quarter marries urban chic with traditional Vieux Carre architecture in a stellar location --- the best of all worlds."
Zagat4.0
""In the heart of everything", these recently redesigned French Quarter quarters are "not the typical W", offering plenty of "Southern charm and hospitality"."
