The staff were the best we have ever experienced,coming to our room,when the tour plans we booked with them were unavailable ,with new suggestions.Also they were most... More

I just returned from New Orleans. We had read reviews - some negative - before we went. Our experience could not have been better. The front desk staff went above and beyond to be helpful. We would definitely stay again. More

The staff was very nice and as former resident of New Orleans the transformation of the old Whitney Bank building into a hotel was a stoke of genius. Great location to the Quarter and Uptown. The only problem was over a 3 day stay the internet only worked one evening. And since the hotel uses Cox as their provider there... More

Thank you for your comments and please accept my apologies for the internet outage. Thanks to these TripAdvisor comments, we recently switched our internet service from a hard wired, paid service ($10.00 a day) to free Wi-Fi for all guests. Unfortunately, with any major system change, some growing pains can be expected. Although, in all honesty, I took that to... More

I love the idea of reusing the old and making them "NEW" again. It was interesting to still see the aspects of the bank building throughout. The room was so big and comfy. I had to take a hike to get to the bathroom the suite was huge! I loved it. I enjoyed being able to walk over and enjoy... More

The Hotel was excellent, clean, and quiet as others have said. And yes, the location is very good. What set this experience apart for me, was the service offered by the General Manager. While I requested 2 beds through Hotels.com, they cannot guarantee the request. The hotel happened to be totally booked for this type room during part of my... More

Great location, great staff. The king suite was very large for New Orleans standards. Well worth the money if you need the extra space. The bathroom was very spacious and room was well appointed. Make sure you sign up for "Wyndham Rewards" and you will get a treat in your room upon arrival. More

This hotel was excellent. we got a very good rate through expedia during the Sugar Bowl. Last year for the game we stayed outside of downtown and it was very inconvenient to have to take a cab all the time. This year staying at the Whitney was aweome. Its only a few blocks walk to Bourbon St, a few blocks... More

Made reservations on HOTWIRE and a day later my daughter was able to get free of her obligations, at Boarding School. Hotwire would not make any changes by adding our daughter to the trip, regardless of extra cost! Called the lovely Cana at the Whitney Wyndham and she allowed our king bed reservation, to be converted to two queen beds... More

The Whitney is a nice hotel in a great location. The staff there is really friendly and informative. One concierge named Mark told me about all the attractions and even where to go out on a Monday night after the Saints game. I would definitely recommend this hotel to a friend. More
