The Royal Sonesta in New Orleans was perfectly located. The staff was great! The beds were to die for. I had a great view of Burbon Street. It was easily the nicest and best hotel in all of the French Quarters.

This beautiful, grand hotel has everything you could want, and it's right in the French Quarter with great restaurants and bars on site. The staff is friendly and helpful with suggestions on everything from restaurants to bars, and providing maps and directions. We wanted for nothing during our stay. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting New Orleans!
