Frommer's "The contrast between the hurly-burly of Bourbon Street and the Sonesta's elegant lobby couldn't be greater -- this is one of the classiest hotels in the Quarter." Full review
OysterUpscale
"The Royal Sonesta is Bourbon Street’s swankiest hotel, and guests can customize it to their level of party pleasure." Full review

Low-key travelers should ask for a hushed interior room deep in the property.
DK Eyewitness "Covering almost a block in the Quarter, this hotel is like a little village with its own shops, cafés, courtyards, and personalities."
i
Ask to be as far away from Bourbon Street as possible to avoid street noise.
Star Service "Spacious and beautifully appointed public rooms with marble floors, fountains and crystal chandeliers make this a prime rendezvous for locals and visitors. " Full review
Gayot "French style and New Orleans panache come together in this hotel's long, wide lobby, which is flanked by one of the French Quarter's lushest courtyards."
BlackBook "The balcony rooms over Nola's most vomited-upon boulevard offer guests the opportunity to soak in the festive ambience without the need for a Haz-Mat suit."
Zagat4.2
"The "gorgeous", "nicely decorated" quarters ("well appointed" with flat-screens and pillow-tops) at this French Quarter "favorite" sure feel "royal", but its real appeal is "location, location, location"."
Not For Tourists "A touch of class on Bourbon. First kiss-worthy courtyard."
Fodor's "Adding a touch of class to its Bourbon Street environs, the elegant Royal Sonesta is a French Quarter favorite." Full review

Fodor's "One of the most modern hotels in the French Quarter, Le Marais has trendy furnishings and a lobby that combines urban chic with an artsy New Orleans vibe." Full review
OysterMid-Range
"Hotel Le Marais is a mid-range boutique located in the heart of the French Quarter." Full review
Star Service "In a prime central location...this is one of the best modern boutique-hotels in the French Quarter, a smaller, subtler, more service-oriented translation of International House." Full review
i
Entry-level Deluxe rooms often stare out at walls and should be avoided.
Gayot "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."
Jetsetter "This chic French Quarter boutique sleep is less than a block from your Bourbon Street bender." Full review
Not For Tourists "Unimpressive, out-of-date, and near the noisy hustle of Bourbon."
The Telegraph7.0
"Bucking the traditional aesthetic in this historic neighbourhood is a brave move, but one that pays off for this contemporary property." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "one of those rare boutique hotels that manages to at once evoke the charming, old-world essence of the Big Easy...all the while reminding guests that it's set firmly in the modern age." Full review
