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"."
Not For Tourists "A touch of class on Bourbon. First kiss-worthy courtyard."
Fodor's "Adding a touch of class to its Bourbon Street environs, the elegant Royal Sonesta is a French Quarter favorite." Full review

Frommer's "Built in the late 1800s as a boardinghouse for the World Cotton Exchange, this is an inn crossed with a B&B, which means a front desk staffed 24/7 and proper public areas." Full review
Fodor's "This historic property, steps to the streetcar and Audubon Park, adds to the delightful choices of smaller Uptown lodgings." Full review
Gayot "It may be a good distance from the busy Central Business District and the French Quarter, but the oasis-like setting is worth it."
Frommer's "For Tulane and Loyola visitors and others staying far uptown, this late-1800s boardinghouse with St. Charles Avenue frontage (easy streetcar access) is a splendid choice. The wide porch..." Full review
Lonely PlanetTop choice
"From the wraparound veranda you can enjoy up-close views of stately oaks grizzled with Spanish beards in the park and on St Charles Ave." Full review
The Wall Street Journal "The ancient live oaks of Uptown’s Audubon Park shade the Park View Historic Hotel. Order some wine and toast the evening at candlelit, wrought-iron tables on the front patio."
