I stayed at this hotel for business and just have to say how much I liked the hotel. It was clean, the staff was friendly and the location was excellant. It was a 5 min walk to the French Quarter. I liked that the hotel was a smaller hotel. The rooms were average in size, which it actually really good... More

My sister booked this hotel and requested a room with two beds. When we check in, the general manager says our room was "upgraded" to a suite. With one full bed and a sofa bed instead of the two queens. I HATE sofa beds and would never purchase a room that had a sofa bed instead of a regular bed.... More

I'm sorry we didn't meet your expectations and would like an opportunity to make it right. You mentioned you spoke to the "GM" and referenced "she" but I wasn't here during your stay and my AGM is also a male. Feel free to contact me to discuss further. Sincerely, Casey A.

Having stayed at a number of boutique hotels in New Orleans over the past 6 years, we had an unexpected and pleasant stay at the Whitney. Our suite was very clean and extremely comfortable. The location of the hotel allowed us to access the French Quarter, the Garden District and the Warehouse District with ease. If we weren't walking, we... More

I've spent the last few years visiting this charming old building that still delivers. I organizae a meeting that we hold here, typically during the first week of JazzFest. The rooms I have had have been roomy, clean and adequately furnished. The staff is tremendous and VERY nice. The day staff guy is decent, but always gives the impression of... More

Very different then what we're use to. Just try to get a room in the front of the building. We did not expect all the big sky-scrapers around the old New Orleans charm all though out town. We would stay here again when we return to N/O, it is close enough to walk to everything you want to do. Our... More

Loved the location, was great to walk to my hotel at night in peace and quiet after the hustle & bustle that can be the Quarter. Safe neighborhood - 3 minutes from Canal Street & the French Quarter, 5 minutes to the river and surrounded by antique shops and art galleries. Li'l Dyzzy (hotel restaurant) has an Inviting breakfast and... More

Architecturally interesting building, slightly quirky and small room (not sure if reflective of others) but newly renovated bathroom. Free wired and wireless internet was adequate for my work VPN. I spent one night before a planned move to another hotel that did not availability the first night of my stay. Would have happily stayed here for duration.

This hotel is beautiful and the location is wonderful. Close enough to walk to your favorite hot spots, new experiences, and in a great location not to be kept up by the late night spirit of New Orleans. Don't feel like walking? There is a trolley just a corner away from the hotel to get you to the Garden District... More
