"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."

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."

"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
