DK Eyewitness "This historic hotel, which was once the New Orleans headquarters of Louisiana political boss Huey Long, fully embraces its colorful past."
Gayot "Built in 1893 and renamed the Roosevelt Hotel in 1923 in honor of Theodore Roosevelt, this hotel has returned to its former glory after a $135 million renovation as a Waldorf Astoria property."
BlackBook "Presidents, movie stars, pop singers. Everybody who's anybody has stayed at the Roosevelt. Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong have headlined the renowned Blue Room."

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
