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

Frommer's "This is the place for those who want something more than a B&B but dislike the generic quality that comes with a chain or business-oriented hotel." Full review
Fodor's "For those who prefer a quieter neighborhood, the elegance of St. Charles Avenue is laid out before you in this small, chic hotel—plus, you're right next to the streetcar line." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Right on the St. Charles Avenue streetcar line, the Lafayette recalls the elegant residential hotels of an earlier era with its classic decor, friendly staff, and handsome Beaux-Arts building."
Gayot "This 1916 Beaux-Arts building sits at the edge of Lafayette Square just outside downtown New Orleans. It is a small, nearly hidden jewel on the St. Charles Avenue streetcar line."
Zagat4.3
"Everything you need" is on hand at this "beautiful" boutique, a 1916 landmark, done up in French Regency style with marble floors, antiques and mahogany."

"Air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and coffeemakers come standard in all rooms. Upgraded rooms feature balconies, and suites add living areas, mini-fridges, and microwaves." Full review
The Telegraph7.0
"A sense of quaintness as you walk in that immediately contrasts with the modernity of the surrounding area. It's a classy option that’s still decidedly affordable." Full review
Lonely Planet "Service is excellent and the hotel (unsurprisingly) has a loyal following." Full review
