Entry-level Deluxe rooms often stare out at walls and should be avoided.
Gayot "Visitors who were dissatisfied with the old Marie Antoinetteâs frumpy appearance will be thrilled with the Hotel Le Marais --- the property was renamed after the famous Parisian neighborhood."
Jetsetter "This chic French Quarter boutique sleep is less than a block from your Bourbon Street bender." Full review
Not For Tourists "Unimpressive, out-of-date, and near the noisy hustle of Bourbon."
The Telegraph7.0
"Bucking the traditional aesthetic in this historic neighbourhood is a brave move, but one that pays off for this contemporary property." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "one of those rare boutique hotels that manages to at once evoke the charming, old-world essence of the Big Easy...all the while reminding guests that it's set firmly in the modern age." Full review
