Frommer's "While we have strong feelings indeed about staying in more New Orleans-appropriate, site-specific accommodations, we cheerfully admit that this is one fun hotel, and what is New Orleans about if not fun?" Full review
Lonely Planet "You have to hand it to W – this suave chain does things right." Full review

"The W New Orleans is a hip upper-middle-range hotel located in the Central Business District, within walking distance of both the French Quarter and the Museum District." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This seriously hip hotel has more going for it than design. Rooms have super-luxurious beds and all the electronic amenities."
Star Service "This 23-story tower of reflecting glass is the trendiest of the bunch, thanks to its uber-contemporary decor and club scene courtesy of Rande Gerber's Whiskey Blue lounge." Full review
BlackBook "The W puts the L.A. in Nola. Like its sister hotels, its rooms and lobby boasts striking colors and sharp angles, all of it easy on the eye."
Zagat3.8
"Attracting the "younger set", these "cutting-edge" digs "close to the French Quarter" provide "luxurious" "fun" with "chic" public spaces and "typical W bars and crowds"."
Gayot "This hotel is giddy with ironic design twists, from the waiting bed in the lobby to the mega-size chairs in the sarcastically stocked library."
Fodor's "This hip property won't disappoint loyal W fans, with its sleek blend of East Coast sophistication and Southern charm." Full review
Star Service "Although the room count here is quite high, the hallmark touchpoints and French amenities make a strong impression.

Star Service "This remains the largest hotel in Louisiana, yet despite its size, it offers a better range of services than many of the other large commercial hotels here—as it should. " Full review
Gayot "Space and location are this Hilton's greatest assets. In addition to housing shops, the hotel offers a special entrance from the lobby to the Riverwalk shopping mall."
Zagat4.0
"Right "on the mighty Mississippi", this "well-located" Downtown denizen is "walking distance of everything" (plus the streetcar is "right outside") and boasts "spacious", "nicely furnished" digs."
Not For Tourists "Hot tub. Roof. Alias John Smith et al. Room 523."
