We were there with a 21, 23 and 31. We got a double room for the two boys. It was wonderful! My husband, myself and daughter were in one of the 2-level suites. The air conditioner was not working right and the main level was freezing, while the upper level was quite hot. Several maintenance workers were trying to get... More

This was my fourth time down to New Orleans. I chose the Royal Sonesta due to Tripdavisor reviews, location and I really wanted that "New Orleans" experience over a more "mainstream" hotel. Got a good price ($199 with a $25 per day credit we used for parking) for a nice balcony room overlooking the courtyard. We requested a non-smoking king... More

Believe the reviews. This place is that good and then some. My wife an I stayed here June 6-10th for her 50th birthday. What a beautiful hotel. The service from the doorman, to the front-desk, to the bell-hops, and the R-club staff (and manager Darren?) was outstanding. We are glad we did the R-club which includes a nice breakfast buffet...

The Royal Sonesta is a grand hotel with a great location. Walk through the doors and you are in a world far removed from the Bourbon Street craziness. This was our third stay at the R.S. Each time we have chosen to upgrade to the R level, which we feel is definitely worth it! The rooms are nicely decorated--even had... More

Can't beat the location, right on Bourbon Street and within walking distance of a plethora of great food choices. Service at hotel was great, room was clean, no issues using wi-fi, and the jazz bar had great music (especially Sunday nights). One downside is if you're wanting to get some exercise in, the fitness center is small.

From the first moment entering the lobby, our stay was quiet, clean, relaxing, informative and FUN. Perfect spot on Bourbon St. Room was facing inside courtyard...quiet, even @ night. Easy walking for the French Quarter attractions. Not sure about parking garage, we flew in and took a taxi (good advice from Milton). Love, love, loved it!!

We had a wonderful time on our extended weekend in New Orleans! We must return soon. We used a LivingSocial Coupon and had many extra coupons attached with the package. This saved us a ton of money. The hotel sparkled.

What a great place. We just had an excellent stay here for a well needed R&R break. Right in the heart of party central, all you need to do is walk out the door but that scene can grow tired fairly quickly. The great thing here is that the hotel is a great haven from all the craziness. We were... More

We stayed at the Royal Sonesta R Club for six days during the New Orleans Jazz Festival. You couldn’t ask for a better location to experience New Orleans for a first timer or the veteran. We had a wonderfully appointed room with king bed. We were on the top floor, back side, so noise was not an issue. A hearty... More
