Stayed at the W two nights, platinum Starwood member (gold for life). Room was ok, but had only one very small window that did not look out on anything. The room was old, which showed in the details (the shower head sprayed water everywhere if you tried to move the head). The reception area, bar and restaurant were under renovation.... More

This is the best of both worlds - you get the modern "cool" factor of the W Hotels chain and the great location in the French Quarter. They have a beautiful patio in the back with a small pool. Check it out at night - beautiful place to have a drink. The lobby is very small and the restaurant attached... More

Just returned. Hotel was perfectly located. Halbert set up great dinner reservations for both nights we were there. He also set up a swamp airboat tour and saw us off with a cooler full of beers. Rooms are great size with the usual W feel. Would not hesitate for a second to return to the W French quarter

Our room was very spacious for a "W" room and the balcony provided a great view and feel of the French Quarter. The room's decor was fantasic and all the little touches and amenities made the stay very comfortable and enjoyable. The pool/patio area was very nicely laid out and enticed us to hang out there for coffee in the... More

The rooms are huge, the bathroom is awesome, the location can't be beat. W in general is a great hotel chain, but this is a super boutique one which makes it even better. They even have a small little pool/bar to go hang out at. It's perfect for a great weekend getaway. You have the chill hotel, surrounded by the... More

STACEY BROKE MY HEART- the rooms were nice and the place had an amazing vibe as soon as you walked in. The staff was more like friends than any other placed I have ever stayed. They were very eager to make sure you were having a good time. I truly was sad when I was leaving. Stacey, the lady at... More

We stayed here for 5 nights and it was our first time in New Orleans. We were there for a wedding at the Royal Sonesta. Since we are Starwood members we deciede to stay here instead using our points. It was not like the typical Ws with the loud bumping lobby. But it was a nice change especially since this... More

This is a hotel I've always wanted to stay at after walking by it many times while visiting New Orleans. They have 96 rooms and it should be charming and authentic. It was anything but. The noise started at 7am with saws and construction crews hammering away. The noise was all around. I felt like the hotel's priority was not... More

Have just returned from a whirlwind trip throughout the states. We arrived in New Orleans after driving non-stop from Largo Florida to be greeted by Halbert who was efficiency personified. Although only there for 2 days, he was always at the desk (does he ever sleep!) and his warmth and genuine care added greatly to our stay.
