Frommer's "Some see this as a small, sweet, slightly funky inn, very popular with in-the-know regular visitors who think of it as quintessential New Orleans." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This hotel is just steps away from the French Quarter and the Frenchmen Street music scene. It’s a compound of several 19th-century buildings."
Gayot "Situated on the best street to hear live music in all of New Orleans, this small hotel makes up for its tiny spaces with an accommodating staff and plenty of Old World charm."

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
The Telegraph8.0
"This semi-secret annex to the International House Hotel provides a slice of Manhattan-style living in downtown New Orleans." Full review
Lonely Planet "The hip industrial-minimalist style of Loft 523's 16 lodgings is a jarring change of pace for New Orleans (that's a compliment)." Full review
