Frommer's "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 "You have to hand it to W – this suave chain does things right." Full review

"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."
Zagat3.8
"Attracting the "younger set", these "cutting-edge" digs "close to the French Quarter" provide "luxurious" "fun" with "chic" public spaces and "typical W bars and crowds"."
Gayot "This hotel is giddy with ironic design twists, from the waiting bed in the lobby to the mega-size chairs in the sarcastically stocked library."
Fodor's "This hip property won't disappoint loyal W fans, with its sleek blend of East Coast sophistication and Southern charm." Full review
Star Service "Although the room count here is quite high, the hallmark touchpoints and French amenities make a strong impression.

Concierge "Located in a Canal Street landmark—the venerable Maison Blanche department store—the Ritz brings its chain-wide style of formal luxury to the outer edge of the French Quarter."
Fodor's "One of the city's most iconic hotels, the Ritz-Carlton sits regally on Canal Street, occupying what was once the Maison Blanche department store." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This hotel actually comprises three hotels in one place (Iberville Suites and Maison Orleans are the other two)."
Star Service "This sparkling gem offers an enviable location, award-winning restaurants, posh accommodations, a pampering spa, and even some regional flavor often missing in this chain." Full review
Gayot "This historic hotel occupies two venerable buildings, the former department stores of Maison Blanche and S. H. Kress."
BlackBook "The rooms are what you'd expect from a Ritz-Carlton, but the most fun is wandering the sumptuous, cream-colored lobby level looking for celebs, if that's your bag."
