Star Service "One of the most intimate choices in the Quarter, composed of one- and two-bedroom cottages arranged around what is claimed to be New Orleans' oldest pool, set in a refurbished sculpture garden." Full review
Gayot "With just seven private cottages (including the former residence of John James Audubon), this lovely inn offers guests an intimate, personal and very private New Orleans experience."

Frommer's "Overall, the Whitney has more character than your average upscale chain, so it ultimately gets a positive vote. And if you are a preservationist, you will probably like it a lot." Full review

"This perfectly adequate mid-range hotel in the Central Business District, a block from the Charles streetcar line, has more history and character than your typical chain." Full review
Gayot "This boutique hotel occupies an elaborate Beaux-Arts building that housed a branch of the Whitney National Bank for decades."
Star Service "At any rate, this is a fun and unpretentious hotel with an engaging historic character and reasonable rates outside of the Mardi Gras calendar." Full review
Fodor's "Renovated and expanded, the stylish Whitney is a great choice if you're looking to stay away from the Bourbon Street bustle." Full review
The Telegraph7.0
"This century-old building is a former bank, and many of the original fittings have been retained, giving it an evocative, almost cinematic atmosphere." Full review
