Omni Royal Orleans

We had a wedding to go to in the city and decided at the last minute to stay at the Omni Royal Orleans which was the host hotel. Julie Yates, the Travel Industry Sales Manager, was the best. She took care of everything for us. After we arrived, we decided to eat at the Rib Room Bar. The jazz band that was playing was so good and so were the Espresso Martinis!!! And of course, the Saints were playing (they were not so good - lol). We both got a hamburger, and I have to say it was one of the best hamburgers. The Omni Royal Orleans and the Rib Room is a special place to me. They have begun renovating the hotel which is always a good thing albeit a little inconvenient. We were also able to the enjoy the roof top pool which was very refreshing and the cocktails at the roof top bar were delicious as well. I love that the hotel still has that old New Orleans charm when you walk down the hallway to your room. Our room was very clean, and the king size bed was more than comfortable. If I had a complaint, it would be the size of the bathroom, but hey, that is not where we spent our time! Of course, the hotel is very conveniently located to so many landmarks in the French Quarter from shops on Royal Street to Jackson Square, to Bourbon Street. I can't say enough about this hotel. Give it a try! You will not be disappointed.

Nice hotel even though they are under construction. Would love to visit again. The outside coming from the court yard needs work. Was dingy and a little scary.

We were blown away by our experience at the Omni Royal. The staff went above and beyond to make our trip enjoyable! Everyone was happy to provide local suggestions. The location is perfect! We were able to get to everything we wanted to do easily and quickly. We can't wait to go back and see the new renovations they are working on.

Hotel is under construction and is a hot mess. Reception staff seems to be brand new or doesn't really care about anyone/anything. Pounding / drilling starts at 8:30am. Rooms are dated and badly need the remodel. There is nothing about the hotel in its current state that I could possibly say anything kind about. Concierge Julie is lovely. Rib Room was decent, but make sure to use your meal "voucher" the day you check in as it isn't valid after that. What a joke.

I absolutely love my time at the Omni Royal. The guest service is 5 stars from the time you enter till the time you leave. Smiley made our trip extra special with a balcony room. We look forward to our next visit to one of my favorite cities in one of my favorite hotels.
