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.

The bed was amazingly comfortable and the staff were professional and... 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

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
