During a recent (music biz) stay in New Orleans (May, 2013) to attend the Zone Music Reporter Awards Show, our wishes came true not only at the music awards show (where our CD, "The Gathering" won Best Contemporary Instrumental Album and the Album of the Year award) though also with our room, in that was homey and the view was...

I must say, the Whitney Wyndham hotel is a perfect combination of New Orleans culture and great southern hospitality. The staff is so accommodating and friendly. The rooms are spacious and clean and feature a nice flat screen tv and free wifi. I will be back! Thanks to everyone at the Whitney for making our trip so wonderful!

My sister chose this hotel for a large family reunion over Mothers day weekend based on the room cost, location and her friends referral. I read prior internet reviews some of which had a few negative comments so I was a bit skeptical. My mistake since I have only positive things to relate. In fact I don't have room to... More

I read some less than favorable reviews about this hotel but I think some people are just being unreasonable. The staff is awesome! Earl and Justin at the front desk were attentive and accommodating! The room was clean and the lobby is an old bank... Very cool! You guys are doing it right.

I'm a regular customer of the Whitney, having stayed here for the Jazz Fest almost every year since it opened in 1999 or 2000. I recognize that it is not for everybody and that in some respects it is not an ordinary full-service hotel. (For instance, the hotel bar/restaurant situation is pretty poor, and there is no such thing as... More

I stayed at The Whitney for a 2-nights. I love the historical aspects of the hotel and its art deco style. The staff was courteous, professional, and checked me in quickly since I arrived at night. The room had everything I needed and the in-room WiFi was easy to access and fast. I enjoyed the bar at Bistreaux at the... More

The Whitney's staff is one if the best I've seen! From check in to check out, everything was perfect. Housekeeping did a great job of servicing my room (even with my 3 kids running around) and the restaurant was awesome. Just a great place to stay with a caring staff!

When I visit a hotel, especially for the first time, there are three or four things that will determine if I will be a repeat customer. My order of preference is, cleanliness, courtesy, service, and cost, in that order.

We stayed here for 5 nights over Jazz Fest 2013. There is zero security after mod-night (doors are not locked - no staff in the lobby - wandering night clerk) and the property is very worn out. Too bad as it is a great old building with lots of character. The staff is very nice and professional but they can't... More

Dear NOLA2011, I'm sorry to hear that you have such a jaded view of our hotel and this city. Obviously, we missed something during your 5 day stay here that would have helped you feel more comfortable at our establishment and for that, I apologize. I did want to address a few of your concerns though. While it's true that... More
