Expert reviews

Fodors review:

“There’s a little something for everyone at this sprawling, resort-like hotel overlooking Bourbon Street. Refined meeting rooms, elegant yet rowdy Bourbon Street-facing balcony suites, a sunny pool deck, and an ultra-fine dining restaurant are just some of the things that attract families, businesspeople, and bachelorettes alike.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in New Orleans.

Frommers review:

“You might forget you’re right on Bourbon Street, what with all the graciousness inside. The Sonesta is large, busy, and classy, with outstanding service for the mix of tourists and business patrons. Rooms, redesigned in late 2016, are handsomely decorated in white and shimmery blue; bathrooms, on the smaller side, are white-on-white.”

Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in New Orleans.

Telegraph review:

“Adding a touch of class to New Orleans’ tackiest thoroughfare is this grande dame of Bourbon Street, which houses a wealth of well-produced, higher-end New Orleans experiences, from fine dining to live jazz.”

Our first NOLA trip

Everyone was VERRY helpful and polite! The valet guy was very nice.

Ok... our room was right behind the DJ booth on the pool level. Not gonna lie- that sucked. after being out drinking til dawn it was not cool being awakened from the Bass droppin. but I got over it and went to the pool. A warning and offer to move after being told about the pool DJ would be a suggestion for future guests in those rooms

Pre- honey moon on bourbon street.

Location was great and security measures are too.

The bed frame was kind of busted and old it could use replacing but bed was decently comfortable although kind of hard.

Overall it’s was a nice stay just needs better management skills

Property was good located right where everything is can literally walk outside and join the party will be staying again. The staff was nice and the hotel itself is so pretty! INSIDE AND OUT!

We did have a cup left behind our curtains in the room! So wasn’t cleaned to well but managed and it was confusing a the parking because we didn’t get incidental back the whole money management was confusing

It was pleasant enough. I would consider staying again if I can get a deal.

Clean, central location, wide range of facilities (if you could find them), pleasant staff. Pretty. Loved that I could control temperature of the room

Confusing layout, no overall map to find things. My fifth floor room quiet, but window so high couldn’t look out. Housekeeping inconsistent. My bed wasn’t very comfortable.

Overall we had a great stay.

Clean comfortable room. Friendly doormen.

We needed help with luggage including pieces of art we had purchased. We had to leave very early for the Artemis Rollout on Tuesday and we asked the day before to make sure it wouldn't be an issue, but there was no one available. Someone from the front desk brought a rolling cart up to us and we had to get it all down to the valet stand ourselves. If we hadn't been on a tight schedule it wouldn't have been a huge deal plus we had asked about it the day before and were assured that it wouldn't be a problem.

Great location and friendly staff

It’s was centrally located. Easy to get to and from without much walking. Also all the staff were super nice!

There was no hand towels or wash clothes. Our room got cleaned on Saturday and came back to fresh towels but no wash clothes or hand towels. We called the front desk and no one answered and then asked a maid if they had any and they said they didn’t have any to give us.

Perfect location within the French Quarter

Perfect location right on Bourbon street and within the French Quarter. We had a room overlooking the beautifully kept courtyard. Our room was clean, spacious and it’s quiet at night.

Valet parking seemed expensive compared to other places we had stayed but you are right in the middle of it.

Amenities were great, hotel itself was not a pleasant stay due to the room itself

Bell services and valet amazing!

The look in side the hotel is very outdated
