Frommer's "The contrast between the hurly-burly of Bourbon Street and the Sonesta's elegant lobby couldn't be greater -- this is one of the classiest hotels in the Quarter." Full review

"The Royal Sonesta is Bourbon Street’s swankiest hotel, and guests can customize it to their level of party pleasure." Full review

Low-key travelers should ask for a hushed interior room deep in the property.
DK Eyewitness "Covering almost a block in the Quarter, this hotel is like a little village with its own shops, cafés, courtyards, and personalities."

Ask to be as far away from Bourbon Street as possible to avoid street noise.
Star Service "Spacious and beautifully appointed public rooms with marble floors, fountains and crystal chandeliers make this a prime rendezvous for locals and visitors. " Full review
Gayot "French style and New Orleans panache come together in this hotel's long, wide lobby, which is flanked by one of the French Quarter's lushest courtyards."
BlackBook "The balcony rooms over Nola's most vomited-upon boulevard offer guests the opportunity to soak in the festive ambience without the need for a Haz-Mat suit."

"The "gorgeous", "nicely decorated" quarters ("well appointed" with flat-screens and pillow-tops) at this French Quarter "favorite" sure feel "royal", but its real appeal is "location, location, location"."

Travel + Leisure "Situated in the arts district, this eight-story luxury hotel is just a six-minute walk from the French Quarter and is also convenient to the city’s finest art galleries." Full review
Star Service "In the Arts District within the Central Business District, two blocks south of Canal Street and the French Quarter, this was one of the early boutique-hotels in this hotel-rich part of town." Full review
Gayot "Situated on a side street in the Central Business District between Canal and Poydras Streets, this hotel is sometimes forgotten among the neighborhood's upscale lodgings."
Jetsetter "Charming, centrally-located NOAD sleep with comfort food at the restaurant and a rooftop hot tub." Full review
Afar Magazine "Classic in decor—especially in the marbled lobby with its antique furnishings and Renaissance murals—but with all the up-to-date amenities you’d expect." Full review
