About the Royal Sonesta Hotel

The Royal Sonesta is the place to be when you want to be in the center of the action in the French Quarter in New Orleans. Located right on famous Bourbon Street, this hotel manages to successfully combine timeless elegance with present day, non-stop street parties. Stand on your balcony and watch the party below. It’s a tradition to toss Mardi Gras beads to partiers who strike your fancy. From street performers to party animals as the night goes on, inhibitions give way to exhibitions. It is a sight to behold and you have a ringside seat. When you tire of the debauchery, retreat into a haven of Old World refinement inside the hotel.

It's also just a short walk to favorite area activities. Stroll historic Jackson Square and watch the artists at work. Savor a café au lait and powdery beignets at Cafe du Monde. Shop the French Market or Jackson Brewery. Meander along the boardwalk beside the Mighty Mississippi River.

Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?

If you want to be right on Bourbon Street, this is a great location. Although the hotel is in the middle of the party, noise is fairly muted within the hotel, especially in the courtyard rooms. Don't miss shopping at the great on-site jewelry store and a tall Daiquiri at the Daiquiri Shop! Read our customer reviews?
