Great stay just two blocks from Canal St and FQ

My wife and I just spent 5 days at the W on Poydras and loved it. The staff was extremely pleasant and went out of their way to be accommodating. The Acura drop off service was extremely convenient, especially before the weekend rush. Its a shame they don't have two vehicles for the weekend madness. The one negative I noticed is that the property looks a bit worn and may be reaching its eight year cycle and ready for renovations. Otherwise, it was a fabulous stay at a very cool W.

I got this tip from a NO native...SuhkoThai on the north end of Royal in Marigny, but walking distance from the FQ. Best (authentic) Thai I have had in the US. Just know that its BYOB, which keeps the tab manageable.

Funky & Convenient

The W has the cache you would expect from a 'boutique' hotel and you can't beat the location. Close to great shopping, convention centre and the French Quarter (without all the noise). Our room was comfortable but overdue for a refreshing.

Enjoyed excellent dinners at both K. Paul's and Irene's in the French Quarter but the best surprise was breakfast at Camellia Grill at 540 Chartres St.. Great food at a reasonable price in a fun and relaxed environment.

Recommend it

I stayed at this hotel for a conference and enjoyed my stay. No major complaints and the staff were very hospitable and friendly. Great location to Harrah's, walking distance to French quarter, Bourbon street and its craziness as well as the convention center/riverwalk. Would stay here again. There's an Acura shuttle program which I didn't take advantage of this time.

best staff ever!

the main thing that stands out about the W New Orleans is the staff. friendly, fast, courteous, and just down right good people. they hold nothing back when it comes to catering to the visitor. the second thing is the location of this hotel by far is one of the best in new orleans, short walk (5-10 mins) will get you to all downtown attractions

Great for Business or Pleasure

The room was nice although overstocked with very expensive bottled water, snacks and alcohol - it was unnecessary because you're located in the heart of everything. It is worth mentioning that the staff is fantastic - they were extremely helpful with the suggestions and very polite.

Check out CW Fins off of Burbon street. My wife and I had a great time. There is a dress code though - so dress up a bit.

Fantastic Long Weekend

We wanted a romantic weekend getaway, but not your typical long weekend at the beach doing absolutely nothing. New Orleans has always been a favorite spot of my fiance, so we decided to venture here for some fantastic music, great food and fun. We stayed at the W New Orleans. The receptionists were very helpful and there was fresh fruit infused water offered upon arrival. We used the Acura car service that the hotel offers to take us to our dinner reservation spots and evening entertainment venues. The driver recommended a restaurant to us that turned out to be one of our best meals during our stay! The room was nicely furnished but was not as clean as it could have been (our bed did not have fitted sheets so we kept having to pull them over the mattress that did not have a mattress pad, the grout in the bathroom was dirty and we were given dirty towels one day). The WiFi did not work in our room and the only help offered was giving us a number to call a technician. We did not want to waste all of our vacation time getting IT help, so we opted not to use the WiFi that was listed as an amenity. We would have liked there to have been a fitted sheet on the bed and someone to be more proactive about fixing the wireless in our room so we could use our devices. However, because of the awesome hotel location, we were able to have a great stay. We went to New Orleans to eat, drink and be merry, experience Southern culture and take in a slower pace of life....all things we accomplished during our long weekend.
