The W New Orleans is a Starwood Preferred property and you will notice right away that it is not a typical chain hotel. Entering the foyer is like entering a chic living room rather than a lobby. Think sophisticated and serene. Experience The W with all five senses as you sink into comfy armchairs soothed by aromatherapy candles and soft sounds. There’s a bowl of fresh fruit at hand and plenty of newspapers, books and games to enjoy. Mix business with pleasure with complimentary wireless Internet access in public areas and use of a laptop if you don’t have your own. Think great location. Everything you want to experience in New Orleans is close by. The busy financial district is right outside the door. Harrah’s Casino and Riverwalk are a stone’s throw away and it’s only a few blocks over to the French Quarter.(Note: There is another W Hotel in the French Quarter.)
Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?
This hotel is a welcome refuge from the frenzied activity of New Orleans. It is close enough to the action, but you are not stuck with noisy Bourbon Street crowds. Be sure to check out the cool pool! The library area is a great place to make new friends or just hang out. More like visiting someone's home than a hotel. Good recovery after Hurricane Katrina! Read our customer reviews?
There’s only one problem with the accommodations at The W - you may never want to leave your room. All 423 guestrooms feature all the comforts of home and more. Enter a haven of dark woods and walls complemented by splashes of vibrant color and plantation shutters. There are also fresh flowers, munchies, a mini-bar, CD/DVD players with a variety of entertainment choices and a large 27” television with Internet access. Luxury bedding includes Egyptian cotton linens and a “pillow menu.” Marble baths feature a selection of Bliss bath products and fluffy robes. Choose from a range of room categories from “wonderful to WOW.”
It doesn’t take long to discover that when The W says, “Whatever-Whenever,” they mean it...as long as it's legal. Amenities don’t end with the library and guestrooms. Pop into Whiskey Blue for a signature Mojito before indulging in gourmet French cuisine at Zoë’s Bistro. Tone up at “Sweat”- the high-profile, glass-enclosed gym. Relax in a private cabana beside the rooftop pool. There’s a great view of city lights under the starry sky at night. Later, treat yourself to a soothing in-room spa treatment. Need anything? Simply call on the 24-hour concierge.
