Frommer's "It's got the luxury one would want from a more modern hotel, plus a certain sultry, decadent languor." Full review
Concierge "The W chain's minimalist, sophisticated aesthetic works particularly well at this cozy historic property."
Fodor's "This modern hotel has one of the best locations in the Quarter, and its rooms are designed with funky jazz and tarot themes." Full review
DK Eyewitness "W tries to find a middle ground between postmodern and French Quarter non-modern in this stylish hotel."
Star Service "With fewer than 100 stylish quarters to look after, standards and service levels are higher than what is usually expected from this chain." Full review
Gayot "The renovated W in the French Quarter marries urban chic with traditional Vieux Carre architecture in a stellar location --- the best of all worlds."
Zagat4.0

Frommer's "While we have strong feelings indeed about staying in more New Orleans-appropriate, site-specific accommodations, we cheerfully admit that this is one fun hotel, and what is New Orleans about if not fun?" Full review
Lonely Planet "You have to hand it to W – this suave chain does things right." Full review
OysterUpscale
"The W New Orleans is a hip upper-middle-range hotel located in the Central Business District, within walking distance of both the French Quarter and the Museum District." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This seriously hip hotel has more going for it than design. Rooms have super-luxurious beds and all the electronic amenities."
Star Service "This 23-story tower of reflecting glass is the trendiest of the bunch, thanks to its uber-contemporary decor and club scene courtesy of Rande Gerber's Whiskey Blue lounge." Full review
BlackBook "The W puts the L.A. in Nola. Like its sister hotels, its rooms and lobby boasts striking colors and sharp angles, all of it easy on the eye."
Zagat3.8
"Attracting the "younger set", these "cutting-edge" digs "close to the French Quarter" provide "luxurious" "fun" with "chic" public spaces and "typical W bars and crowds"."
Gayot "This hotel is giddy with ironic design twists, from the waiting bed in the lobby to the mega-size chairs in the sarcastically stocked library."
Fodor's "This hip property won't disappoint loyal W fans, with its sleek blend of East Coast sophistication and Southern charm." Full review
Star Service "Although the room count here is quite high, the hallmark touchpoints and French amenities make a strong impression.
