"Some see this as a small, sweet, slightly funky inn, very popular with in-the-know regular visitors who think of it as quintessential New Orleans."

"This hotel is just steps away from the French Quarter and the Frenchmen Street music scene. It’s a compound of several 19th-century buildings."
Gayot
"Situated on the best street to hear live music in all of New Orleans, this small hotel makes up for its tiny spaces with an accommodating staff and plenty of Old World charm."

"The contrast between the hurly-burly of Bourbon Street and the Sonesta's elegant lobby couldn't be greater -- this is one of the classiest hotels in the Quarter."

"The Royal Sonesta is Bourbon Street’s swankiest hotel, and guests can customize it to their level of party pleasure."

Low-key travelers should ask for a hushed interior room deep in the property.

"Covering almost a block in the Quarter, this hotel is like a little village with its own shops, cafés, courtyards, and personalities."

Ask to be as far away from Bourbon Street as possible to avoid street noise.

"French style and New Orleans panache come together in this hotel's long, wide lobby, which is flanked by one of the French Quarter's lushest courtyards."
