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
