Concierge "The Renaissance chain weaves New Orleans's musical heritage into this 272-room reimagining of a Jazz Age high-rise, built in 1925."
Fodor's "A great CBD choice that will appeal especially to food and drink aficianados, this boutique Marriott a block from Canal Street delivers comfort with large, quiet rooms." Full review
DK Eyewitness "There is a strong jazz theme throughout the hotel, and every room features luxurious amenities, whimsical decor, spacious baths, and Herman Miller Aeron chairs."
Star Service "One block off Canal Street and two blocks from the French Quarter, this hotel could be mistaken for a W Hotel given its modernist public areas." Full review
i
There is construction going on at a neighboring building on Common Street so light sleepers should avoid that side of the hotel for now.
Zagat4.3
"It's "easy walking to Bourbon Street" and easy living inside this "conveniently located" chain member in the CBD."
Gayot "Provides subtle sophistication for upscale travelers and tons of meeting space for those doing business --- nine rooms to be exact, and they fill up quickly."
The Telegraph8.0
"A knowingly modern hotel in the bustle of the city’s Central Business District. It’s more playful, though, than its corporate surroundings and ownership would suggest." 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."
Zagat4.2
"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
Travel + Leisure "Home to one of the largest and loveliest courtyard swimming pools in the city... an amazing place to relax." Full review
