Fodor's Expert Review The Whitney Hotel

610 Poydras St., New Orleans, Louisiana, 70130, USA

This stylish European-style boutique hotel, with top-notch service and comfortable rooms, is a great choice if you're looking to stay away from the Bourbon Street bustle. The beaux-arts–style Whitney Bank Building may have been built in 1909, but its comforts are clearly 21st century, including comfy pillow-top mattresses and ergonomic chairs. A former bank vault now serves as the hotel's meeting space.
