I stayed 4 nights this past week while on a business trip. I wanted to stay at the Ritz Carlton, but it was booked and I thought the Loews would be comparable. The hotel is very clean and the rooms are as well with very comfortable beds. The shower pressure rocked which is a plus to someone who likes long, hot showers to wake up in the morning. The location is great being right across from Harrah's Casino, a block from the Aquarium and River Walk Mall, and only about a 5-6 block walk to Bourbon St. and Jackson Square. The spa and finess area is one of the better ones I have seen in a hotel which was a plus. I was a little disappointed that the bar downstairs would not serve my group at 11:45 p.m. as they closed at midnight which I felt to be kind of early considering this was New Orleans and in the heart of everything. The staff was very nice otherwise.

We stayed at the Loews Hotel while in NOLA for 4 nights. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable for a great night's sleep. The staff is the best I have encountered at a hotel. We got a deal through Living Social so this was my 1st exposure to a Loews hotel. I will definitely look for them when I travel again. Location is outside of French Quarter but within walking distance (about 5-6 blocks).

We stayed 2 nights this past weekend, with a Living Social deal. I was worried we wouldn't be treated as well, since we used a "coupon"...but everyone was super helpful and very nice.
When we checked in, we were upgraded at no charge to a Grand King room on the 14th floor (because the only room left like the one we'd reserved was on the pet floor). We got a little gift basket with local treats, and the room was very spacious and spotlessly clean. The beds were VERY comfortable.
We got a newspaper outside our door every morning.
The location was great--right across the street from Harrah's casino & the River Walk, and 10 minute walk from the French Quarter. Parking was super expensive ($35/day) & WiFi was NOT free, but overall we would definitely stay here again.

While the restaurant in Loews wasn't much, the hotel itself was wonderful. The staff were attentive, friendly, and helpful. The gym is first class, as is the saltwater lap pool. The rooms were large and nicely furnished. The bathroom had a separate tub and shower. The beds were very comfortable. The room was very clean. The hotel is close to the wharf which was nice for walking. There is also a mini-mall with all the nice stores on the wharf as well.
