omni royal orleans or royal sonesta

Can anyone tell me which hotel is nicer and if they have balconies?Also which location is better?



Thanks

Depends on a lot of factors. I believe both are four-diamond properties so ';nicer'; is probably in the eye of the beholder. If you want noise and action, pick the Royal Sonesta as it faces Bourbon Street. (It has some quieter courtyard rooms as well, to be fair). The Omni is a block over but is much ';tamer'; as Royal Street is quiet at night.





I would probably choose the Omni as it is my favorite New Orleans hotel but the Royal Sonesta is fine too.

The Royal Sonesta is the most elegant hotel I have ever stayed at, gorgeous lobby, nice rooms, beautiful pool, etc. We had a room that overlooked Bourbon Street but were high up enough that noise wasn%26#39;t a problem. I haven%26#39;t stayed at the Omni but I%26#39;m sure it is nice, too, judging from the outside.




I%26#39;ve stayed at both and both are very nice. You couldn%26#39;t go wrong with either.




Omni: I%26#39;d pick the Omni any day but I%26#39;m a Dad with a family. Its location next to Royal Street is slightly removed from the Bourbon Street show and I like it that way. Both hotels have nice pools but the view from the pool area on the top of the Omni is one of the best in the city. The Omni rooms are generally small. If you like the people action of the city, pick Sonesta. The service of the staff at Omni was great when I was there recently. It%26#39;s been a while since I have been at Sonesta so can%26#39;t compare that.




I%26#39;ll always pick the Royal Sonesta. It has balconies on Bourbon St. It also has quiet courtyard rooms with french doors.
