Frommer's "Overall, the Whitney has more character than your average upscale chain, so it ultimately gets a positive vote. And if you are a preservationist, you will probably like it a lot." Full review

"This perfectly adequate mid-range hotel in the Central Business District, a block from the Charles streetcar line, has more history and character than your typical chain." Full review
Gayot "This boutique hotel occupies an elaborate Beaux-Arts building that housed a branch of the Whitney National Bank for decades."
Star Service "At any rate, this is a fun and unpretentious hotel with an engaging historic character and reasonable rates outside of the Mardi Gras calendar." Full review
Fodor's "Renovated and expanded, the stylish Whitney is a great choice if you're looking to stay away from the Bourbon Street bustle." Full review

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."
