"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."

"At Bourbon Street, across from the St. Louis Cathedral, this remarkable 1815 structure is a four-story evocation of Vieux Carre architecture with celery-green filigree."

"Its elegant marble lobby strikes a demure tone and provides a dramatic contrast to the rowdy street scene outside."

"Sensible and unpretentious, the Bourbon Orleans is the luxury hotel for those who feel the top of the line places get a bit too over the top."
