About the Royal Sonesta ...

A day of exploring. A night on the town. A little taste of Southern cuisine, history and hospitality. Find yours right in the heart of the French Quarter.

It’s jazzy. It’s elegant. It’s unmistakably New Orleans. The Royal Sonesta Hotel is right where your heart desires to be – in the French Quarter where the air is alive with atmosphere and originality. We celebrate the culture and friendliness of this rare and wonderful walking district.

You’ll love our distinctively European style, our beautiful architecture and our staff’s warmth. Here you’ll find a casual but sophisticated ambiance with inviting guest rooms and suites, a world-class art collection, a lush tropical courtyard, secluded pool and serene gardens. The Big Easy’s best choices in dining and entertainment are right here, from a charming courtyard restaurant to a sidewalk bistro to Irvin Mayfield's Jazz Playhouse. All this along with 20,000 sq. ft. of function space, a state of the art Board Room and a team of enthusiastic professionals ensure your vacation, meeting or special event will exceed your expectations.
