Frommer's "It’s a good mid-level option with a very good French Quarter location, and room rates can be downright bargains during low season...the staff has a friendly, helpful vibe" Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"The St Marie was built to look historic from the outside, but is up-to-date on the inside." Full review
Independent "At Hotel St. Marie, the best rooms even offer access to your own private, wrought-iron balcony overlooking the street. These are highly sought after during Mardi Gras."
