Had a very pleasant 3 day stay. Excellent location. Asked for an upgrade when our room was noisy during a rain storm. They gave us a patio room which was several steps up. Would definitly stay again. More

Normally we stay outside of the Quarter. We stayed at the Royal Sonesta for a wedding. Our room was on the "R" floor. The seventh floor rooms seem to be more serene than other floors. Many in our party were on the third floor and they complained of noise throughout the evening. I think the "R" floor may attract a... More

The big five-o in the big easy, it was the perfect destination to celebrate. The Royal Sonesta could not of offered any more hospitality or grace. The employees make the difference there.Housekeeping does wonderful,the rooms are spotless and smell good.If you have a chance to talk to Wilbert,Wayne,or Chuck,you will not only be entertained but they can offer you advice...

My husband and I think the Royal Sonesta is one of the best hotels we have stayed in around the world. This last stay we decided to try an R Club room on the concierge floor and found it was very worth the extra dollars. The little roof top bar area was perfect for the afternoon cocktail hour and the... More

If you are looking for the real NOLA experience, look no further. The Royal Sonesta is an iconic hotel located right in the heart of the French Quarter. It's a lovely looking hotel with grand features, all in good condition. The staff were all friendly, helpful and attentive. Check-in was quick and efficient. We stayed in connecting Delux king rooms... More

We have stayed at the Royal Sonesta 3 times over the last year and have yet to be disappointed! For our most recent stay, our room was on Bourbon Street and it was difficult to sleep with the music playing all night - it finally stops at 5:00 am. The bed was amazingly comfortable and the staff were professional and... More

If you love the "old world ambience" you will love this hotel! We had the best service ever and loved the concierge floor. The restaurants were fantastic, loved the Sunday brunch...a little pricey, but great food! Loved the area, so much fun... great experience, will go back in a hearbeat!! More

We stayed at the Royal Sonesta last week for a birthday trip. The hotle was recommended by friends who stayed there last summer. The staff was extremely cordial and helpful. We requested the handicapped accessible room for a walk-in shower. When we came to our room, it was not accessible. Our bellman, Virgil, immediately called the front desk and assisted... More

I first stayed at this property in 1985. I have returned often, most recently in December of 2011. Stayed on the 7th floor again with all the great things that go with it. Breakfast, happy hour and constant service for anything you need in the city. Treat yourself to some truly great hospitality in a fabulous room. Make sure to... More
