Returned to the Royal Sonesta during jazzfest despite last years disappointment. This years experience could not have been more enjoyable. The staff was very attentive and the rooms were kept clean and well serviced. We very much appreciated all of the attention. Could not forget to include the AMAZING meals we enjoyed at Re'evolution restaurant, as well as the adjoining... More

Our group, consisting of four girlfriends, stayed at the Royal Sonesta May 16-19, 2013. This hotel is beautiful and the staff is great. It's traditional decor, very clean, very comfortable. The room's aren't overly spacious but they're not too small either, and the bathroom was fine. It's a little noisy as it's right on Bourbon, and one of our rooms... More

We had a great experience at the Royal Sonesta. I can't say enough about the staff and the location is right in the heart of the Bourbon Street action. If you are on Bourbon Street (even without the balcony), keep in mind that it will be LOUD until at least dawn breaks.

In the center of the famous and crazy French Quarter the Royal Sonesta is a grand old hotel. Very traditional with the nicest, most accommodating staff one could ever encounter. Rooms are spacious and well furnished and comfortable. The nights can be a bit noisy due to the proximity of the circus known as Bourbon St. All the well regarded... More

The staff at Royal Sonesta in Nawlain's helped make our 53rd wedding anniversary spectacular. "We'll be back". They worked hard to get us checked in early, upgraded us to a suite and took care of our every need. We ate at he Revolution Restaurant, PJ's Coffee Bar and the "Desire" Oyster Bar. All excellent.

Occupying almost an entire city block it extends along an entire Bourbon Street block. Access is easy with underground valet parking. Our room had a first floor balcony, a two sided coin. On one side, you have the privilege of enjoying the view of the pasing parade while sitting enjoying a drink. On the other hand , when you are... More

We had a wonderful time. You are in the middle of Bourbon St. in a luxurious hotel where you can eat and drink,be served and watch the happening people on this historic street. Everyone in this hotel were so professional it made you feel like you were the only one there.
