"While we have strong feelings indeed about staying in more New Orleans-appropriate, site-specific accommodations, we cheerfully admit that this is one fun hotel, and what is New Orleans about if not fun?" Full review
Lonely Planet

"The W New Orleans is a hip upper-middle-range hotel located in the Central Business District, within walking distance of both the French Quarter and the Museum District." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"This seriously hip hotel has more going for it than design. Rooms have super-luxurious beds and all the electronic amenities."
Star Service
"This 23-story tower of reflecting glass is the trendiest of the bunch, thanks to its uber-contemporary decor and club scene courtesy of Rande Gerber's Whiskey Blue lounge." Full review
BlackBook
"The W puts the L.A. in Nola. Like its sister hotels, its rooms and lobby boasts striking colors and sharp angles, all of it easy on the eye."

Gayot
"This hotel is just three blocks from the tourist-crammed French Quarter and within shouting distance of the always-booked Ernest N. Morial Convention Center."
BlackBook
"Hotel suites with exposed brick may not be something you're used to, but it's part of that N'awlins flavor."
Fodor's
"This is a good alternative to the huge convention hotels; you're just steps from the major downtown attractions and the Convention Center, and Harrah's New Orleans Casino is a five-minute walk." Full review
Star Service
"It provides a vintage warehouselike atmosphere that runs counter to the cool corporate look of the neighboring commercial giants hereabouts." Full review

Travel + Leisure
"This new addition to the Central Business/Arts District is certainly helping to tempt guests out of their beloved French Quarter." Full review
Jetsetter
