Frommer's "Located in an old carriage and dry-goods warehouse, each of the 18 lofts is a marvel of modern design, sort of a Jetsons-futuristic-meets-NYC-minimalist fantasy." Full review
Concierge "An unmarked entrance hints at the speakeasy vibe of this über-contemporary 18-room gem located a couple of blocks from Canal Street."
Fodor's "One of the few options for chic, loft-style digs in New Orleans—and a great choice at that." Full review

"Loft 523 is the platinum standard of New Orleans’ boutique hotels, ushering in sleek, industrial decor (no fussy florals here) in spacious lofted rooms with large, luxurious baths." Full review
Gayot "Sophisticated and postmodern, this intimate hotel boasts sixteen lofts and three penthouses in the heart of the city."
Afar Magazine "Opened in April 2001, this Central Business District property, a converted dry-goods warehouse, is a departure from the typical New Orleans hotel." Full review

Fodor's "The comfortable, spacious, well-designed rooms are furnished with a minimalist bent." Full review

Zagat4.3
"With "excellent" decor and colorful art installations throughout, this "upscale" chain member, a converted 19th-century depository, provides an "aesthetically pleasing" "home away from home"."
Condé Nast Traveler87.6
"In stark contrast to the traditional Creole and colonial-style digs in the French Quarter, this warehouse-turned-hotel is industrial, minimalist, and edgy." Full review
OysterUpscale
