We stayed here December 25th to 30th. Beautiful hotel and really in the center of it all. We recommend walking just off bourbon street where you will find great bars, food and shops that are a little more quieter and neighborhood feel. Its a short walk to 400 toulousse where you can take some amazing tours (recommend city view and cemetery with harris). We will definitely return.

Really unprofessional Front Desk. Couldn't get fresh towels, it took 2 hrs to get some, had to walk downstairs in pajamas to get some. Tub was out dated and clogged. Only good thing was the friendly efficient valet parking.

The property was very well kept and rooms were spacious and beautiful! Everything was wonderful! I will only stay here in the future! I stayed one night and had a reservation right after at the Omni Royal for 4 days and was so disappointed with the Omni Royal vs. Royal Sonesta! Royal Sonesta is leaps and bounds better, in every way!

It is a great place to stay and convenient for French Quarter activities. They claim you get a $15/day food and beverage credit, but is not reflected on your bill at checkout. I presume you get a credit on account which is of little use to me. I wish this had been explained more fully.
