Hotel, Staff, Room all great! We stayed in the R Club level on the 7th floor. Breakfast and Happy Hour included in price of room. The breakfast was very nice and the happy hour fantastic. Very nice appitizers and a great selection of top shelf cocktails, beer and wine. This is our 3 time at the Hotel and I must... More

I stayed at the Royal Sonesta from April 1-4 for a business conference that was being held at the hotel. What is probably the biggest draw to many is the biggest drawback to others and that is the location. The hotel is practically in the heart of the French Quarter, which means you step out and you are on Bourbon... More

I stayed at the Royal Sonesta for a national conference from April 1-3. Whether it be business or pleasure, you won't get a better hotel at a better location than the Royal Sonesta. The staff is friendly and helpful, the hotel is beautiful, the concierge gave great recommendations, and the rooms were very nice. Previous travelers mentioned an issue with... More

I stayed at the Royal Sonesta for 4 nights leaving on the 27th. Reading the last 2 reviews it sounds like I left in the nick of time. My stay was much better than the 2 previous people. I chose a room facing Bourbon knowing that the noise could be an issue. The king size bed was very comfortable and... More

This a pathetic excuse for a luxury hotel. I agree with the previous guest's review. Upon arrival, no electricity, no heat/or AC, no phone, and no hot water and no effort to divert to a functioning facility. After climbing several flights of stairs with luggage (no operational elevator), the hall was pitch black without emergency lighting (talk about a safety... More

We have very stressfull life and dont get away too much so we had high hopes for our weekend away to New Orleans.. Now I wish we went somewhere else or just stayed home. The staff there was very rude, so much for that southern charm! They lost power to the hotel and we were told it would come right... More

We were very impressed with the helpful and extremely friendly staff at the hotel, from the head bellman who went out of his way to offer restaurant and attraction recommendations to the housekeeping staff who were always smiling and making a point to greet us. We felt very welcome and would definitely stay there again. The location was also great-... More

I needed an oasis in the Quarter, and I found one in the Royal Sonesta. The room was immaculate and the view over the expansive courtyard was calming. Service was top-notch from check-in onward. Breakfast was wonderful but expensive. The Desire Oyster Bar offered good food right on Bourbon Street. I'll definitely be back.

We spent 4 nights in a balcony king room overlooking Bienville Street. The immaculate room was large with a huge closet, lots of bathroom space, & two chairs for sitting outside. All of the staff were very friendly throughout our stay. The business center offers a free computer & printer specifically for airline boarding passes. The pool deck looked very... More
