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
OysterUpper-middle-range
"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
The Telegraph8.0

Concierge "The Renaissance chain weaves New Orleans's musical heritage into this 272-room reimagining of a Jazz Age high-rise, built in 1925."
Fodor's "A great CBD choice that will appeal especially to food and drink aficianados, this boutique Marriott a block from Canal Street delivers comfort with large, quiet rooms." Full review
DK Eyewitness "There is a strong jazz theme throughout the hotel, and every room features luxurious amenities, whimsical decor, spacious baths, and Herman Miller Aeron chairs."
Star Service "One block off Canal Street and two blocks from the French Quarter, this hotel could be mistaken for a W Hotel given its modernist public areas." Full review

There is construction going on at a neighboring building on Common Street so light sleepers should avoid that side of the hotel for now.
Zagat4.3
"It's "easy walking to Bourbon Street" and easy living inside this "conveniently located" chain member in the CBD."
Gayot "Provides subtle sophistication for upscale travelers and tons of meeting space for those doing business --- nine rooms to be exact, and they fill up quickly."
The Telegraph8.0
"A knowingly modern hotel in the bustle of the city’s Central Business District. It’s more playful, though, than its corporate surroundings and ownership would suggest." Full review
