Lovely stay, would go back. Friendly staff who happily accommodated our birthday request, a small gesture we really appreciated. The room was clean, and the location was excellent.
The Royal Sonesta is in the heart of the French Quarter, with beautiful balconies overlooking Bourbon Street! With plenty of amazing restaurants within walking distance, and live music in the park right across the street, you won’t need to venture too far to have a fabulous time!
Initial greeting at the door was friendly and told us where to park. Greeted again with luggage and at the front door. Really nice staff! Friendly and helpful.
We had a great experience here for our 10 yr wedding anniversary perfect location! Only thing I wish they had was a hot tub/spa!
Feet hurt at the end of the day because it’s literally walking distance to EVERYTHING.
10/10!
It has a very location on Bourbon street, just far enough away from the main craziness, test close enough to a lot of action.
The property is very well maintained and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to New Orleans.
The location was stellar! Literally walking distance from everything.
Pool was beautiful and quiet! A definite oasis from the hustle and bustle off bourbon street.
On site restaurant would have been a great addition.
I was there for a wedding. Got in very late and had no issues checking in. The staff were very courteous and helpful. They even helped me find a place to get a manicure.
Door man was very animated and helpful. Good things to say every time.
