As a Mississippi native and Atlanta resident, I have the highest standards of genuine Southern hospitality and I can say without a doubt that the staff of the W FQ has raised that bar. I have spent a lot of time in New Orleans in the 30 years of my life, but never had an experience reveling our stay this... More

Love this place. The construction is a pain, but should be wrapped by summer. The staff was so over the top nice and helpful it made up for any jack hammers. Especially ask for Halbert and Daniel. The two guys were super cool and couldn't be more helpful. Southern hospitality at its finest. Ya'll.

My husband and I stayed in W french quarter in Easter Time in the wonderful room which has a nice private patio with hot tub. The hotel at that time was under renovation, so the breackfast room and restaurant were closed but this didn't affect at all our staying which was amazing. The hotel is a gem, a boutique hotel...

We stayed at this W for a convention but also wanted to be in the quarter so this hotel was convenient. Construction did not bother us at all - we didn't hear any noise unless we were outside or next to the window & it didn't start until about 9am anyway. I think they get room service from a nearby...

The staff is friendly and helpful, but the noise from construction is intolerable. Also, it appears as though maintenance of existing rooms has fallen by the wayside until constuction is completed--both the sink and showerhead in bathroom were broken when we checked in. They should either close the hotel during consutruction, or offer discounted rates.

The staff was very helpful in assisting a surprise trip for my wife and I which made it a fabulous experience. The hotel is going through renovations but we knew this going in, and therefore it did not affect our stay. Of course it would have been nice to have a bar on site, but there are no shortages of...

At check-in, the staff assured us that the construction would not affect our stay. But oh, by the way, there's no restaurant or bar here. "Uhhh, well it's still our vacation. Let's just go with it honey." The next morning we woke up to the sound of angle grinders and jackhammers...directly beneath our room!!! We paid full rate for this... More

A convenient quiet location in the French quarter. A few blocks will get you to Burbon street, Jackson square or the Aquarium/Insectarium. On the plus side the courtyard seating with the flaming water fountain and the heated pool are the highlight of the hotel. There was only a booze cart there on the weekend (not far to walk to get...
