Top New Orleans Hotel Reviews

The Royal Sonesta New Orleans

The Royal Sonesta New Orleans

6/10 Okay
"The executive corner level room was very clean and quiet. The executive level R Lounge was closed for entire trip,which was not disclosed in advance. The free breakfast at the Desire Oyster Bar restaurant was good, as were the chargrilled oysters at dinner. Le Booze ( formerly very nice cigar bar) has turned into nothing but a wall of tvs, indistinguishable from any other bar on Bourbon Street. The pool was packed, though the hotel wasn't. They sell passes to the public. They claim it's a heated pool, but I , nor anyone in the water thought it was heated. The common areas are great, and the staff is friendly. Desire Oyster Bar/Restaurant puts out good food all day, with great staff. The hotel is close to the river, and very close to the top Quarter restaurants and the rest in town are easily accessible via cab or Uber/Lift."

What is a historic hotel like in New Orleans?
A historic hotel gives guests a chance to stay in a place that's been officially recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world have had many former lives and uses, such as palaces, castles, stately homes or even lodges, pubs or skyscrapers — as long as it's of special interest. These types of hotels in New Orleans often retain original elements like traditional architecture and period features in guestrooms or communal spaces.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
They are quite similar. "Historic hotel" is a term often used in the US, while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to put more importance on the building and architecture itself. Heritage hotels draw their meaning mainly from the cultural value and how it shaped the community.
Do historic hotels in New Orleans have modern facilities?
Yes. Every effort is made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, while interiors have safety features and modern conveniences. Guests should expect the popular amenities from a contemporary hotel such as WiFi, heating and air conditioning, and updated bathroom facilities. In New Orleans, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's rundown or uncomfortable for guests.
