W New Orleans may be located in the historic French Quarter but it is anything but ancient in design. The modern decor of this New Orleans hotel is trendy in a stylish sort of way and the service and amenities are straight out of the cutting edge development of the hotel service industry in the twenty-first century. This is because W New Orleans is part of the Starwood Hotels collection. However, with the personalized attention of the staff and the unique flavor of New Orleans around every corner, you can get those brand hotel amenities without feeling like you're in a cookie-cutter hotel.
The decor of W New Orleans is modern and chic, and this gay-friendly hotel offers numerous choices for rooms. There are "wonderful rooms" designed to induce romance for couples, "spectacular rooms" which feature views of the city, and three different levels of specialty suites with living rooms separated from bedrooms to give you the space you need. The beds are wrapped with silky thick count sheets. Some rooms offer treats like lemon and sage bath products, others feature business centers and large screen TVs and still others have Jacuzzis and marble-topped wet bars. Whether simply looking for a great bed to sink in to or trying to create the perfect setting to bring someone home with you, the rooms of W New Orleans have something for you.
The W New Orleans is also conveniently located so that guests can enjoy New Orleans to the fullest. It is located a few blocks away from the French Quarter where most people spend a significant amount of their New Orleans stay. For those who are enjoying New Orleans for pure pleasure, a walk along the river nearby is an excellent way to spend the day. For those who have to mix pleasure with business, the Ernest Morial Convention Center is nearby. The pet-friendly hotel itself features an outdoor courtyard, illuminated swimming pool, upscale Italian dining, and wireless internet so even though there is a lot going on in the neighborhood around you, you might not want to leave the comfort of your hotel!

Upscale Hotel
This hotel was very nice. I've only stayed in a W once before and it was many years ago in NYC. The rooms were bigger than I expected. Modern decor and I loved the bathrooms. This is definitely the kind of hotel you try to copy when decorating at home. A great (but kind of small) pool outside. Service - good. Cleanliness: Good too. I'd stay again for sure.

LOVE W's! New Orleans is no exception
I'm a fan of W Hotels - I've stayed in many: Dallas, Seattle, Chicago, NYC - and now New Orleans. This hotel definitely lives up to the chic personality that W goes for. Contemporary but yet minimal chic rooms, a sleek lobby, great service and perfect location. By: AlexVA64 on February 15, 2010
