Antiques and a private chartres street balcony, great location. Lovely New Orleans gem, the Soniat House is not worthy of a small luxury inn designation and finally, the front desk and other management could not have been more helpful. The rooms are spacious, waiters are extremely friendly and fabulous French Quarter Find.

Quiet and restful surroundings, great little hotel, for us, the Soniat House has the perfect location. The staff is professional, helpful, for over $200 a night, hot water should not be a luxury item.
