Entry-level Deluxe rooms often stare out at walls and should be avoided.
"Visitors who were dissatisfied with the old Marie Antoinetteâs frumpy appearance will be thrilled with the Hotel Le Marais --- the property was renamed after the famous Parisian neighborhood."
"This chic French Quarter boutique sleep is less than a block from your Bourbon Street bender." Full review
"Unimpressive, out-of-date, and near the noisy hustle of Bourbon."

"Located in an old carriage and dry-goods warehouse, each of the 18 lofts is a marvel of modern design, sort of a Jetsons-futuristic-meets-NYC-minimalist fantasy." Full review
"An unmarked entrance hints at the speakeasy vibe of this über-contemporary 18-room gem located a couple of blocks from Canal Street."
"One of the few options for chic, loft-style digs in New Orleans—and a great choice at that." Full review

"Sophisticated and postmodern, this intimate hotel boasts sixteen lofts and three penthouses in the heart of the city."
"Opened in April 2001, this Central Business District property, a converted dry-goods warehouse, is a departure from the typical New Orleans hotel." Full review
8.0
