"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."
i
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."

Frommer's "Despite being part of a chain, this is an elegant hotel that doesn't feel sterile and generic... Service is swift and conscientious, amenities are ample." Full review
Fodor's "One of the more elegant options on Bourbon Street, this large white-marble property is a replica of the grand 1800s St. Louis Hotel, with columns, gilt mirrors, and magnificent chandeliers." Full review
DK Eyewitness "One of the largest hotels in the French Quarter, the Omni Royal is known for its attentive service."
i
Ask for a “get fit” guest room and get your own treadmill and supply of healthy snacks.
Gayot "A white stucco exterior and lacy iron balconies give the building the image of age, as do the chandeliers, gilt mirrors and tons of marble."
Zagat4.0
"A "fantastic" French Quarter location "in the heart of it all" and an "excellent" staff with "exceptional knowledge of the city" make for a "lovely, lovely" stay at this "beautiful" belle."

Not For Tourists "Go to the pool. Even if you don't have a room."
The Telegraph8.0
"A succession of hotels have stood on this elegant block in the Upper French Quarter over the years, the current incarnation a worthy successor to those from the glory days of the mid-19th century." Full review
