Lonely Planet "Nine buildings from the 1830s combine to form a fine mid-range hotel in the very heart of the Quarter." Full review
Star Service "The fact that its room rates are so low keeps this place on the short list of both budgeters and those willing to pay up, everyone clearly enjoying the excellent location and friendly vibe." Full review
Gayot "A stone's throw from historic St. Louis Cathedral and a couple blocks from Bourbon Street, yet private and quiet enough to escape the madding crowds."

"This historic mid-range hotel, located right on the famous Jackson Square is the essence of old world charm and perfectly situated for sightseeing." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"What began life as an 18th-century school and became a mid 20th-century motel is now a French Quarter institution with one of the most wonderfully landscaped hotel courtyards in the city." Full review
Frommer's "If you’re planning to spend a lot of time sightseeing, this is a good choice for French Quarter lodging, especially given the relatively decent rates (which include basic continental breakfast)" Full review

Frommer's "Overall, the Whitney has more character than your average upscale chain, so it ultimately gets a positive vote. And if you are a preservationist, you will probably like it a lot." Full review
OysterBudget
"This perfectly adequate mid-range hotel in the Central Business District, a block from the Charles streetcar line, has more history and character than your typical chain." Full review
Gayot "This boutique hotel occupies an elaborate Beaux-Arts building that housed a branch of the Whitney National Bank for decades."
Star Service "At any rate, this is a fun and unpretentious hotel with an engaging historic character and reasonable rates outside of the Mardi Gras calendar." Full review
Fodor's "Renovated and expanded, the stylish Whitney is a great choice if you're looking to stay away from the Bourbon Street bustle." Full review
The Telegraph7.0
"This century-old building is a former bank, and many of the original fittings have been retained, giving it an evocative, almost cinematic atmosphere." Full review
