Armstrong Airport - Which W Hotel in New Orleans?

Which W Hotel in New Orleans?

Doing a road trip to New Orleans - which W hotel should we stay at? W New Orleans which seems to be more downtown or the W French Quater which is right near burbon street? We are just friends now, but I'm hoping this weekend will turn into something more, so I want romantic, but not over the top.

If you want this relationship to turn a little different, then take it over the top!. The French Quarter is fabulous and the restaurants are great! A very romantic place. Have fun!
some sites list both as in the FQ but as i can see you know they are both not. the W new orleans is located on Poydras St basicly in the business distract. not much to see around there, but i think its not too far of a walk to the river. both i think are in pretty quite areas, the one in the FQ is not on bourbon is a few blocks walk to it. its more near jackson square. either way you go would be good. I think one is a couple bucks cheaper than the other. both will give you great views of the city with a decent enough room.
The real consideration for going to the Downtown W o Poydras is that it is right next to Harrah's casino and Mother's Restaurant. The French Quarter location is within walking distance to many more restaurants, bars, and shops.
Friends of mine just stayed at the W on Poydras Street. It was fine, but several blocks from the FQ. There are really only two hotels on Bourbon Street: The Royal Sonesta and a Ramada. Both are OK/good. The hotel with the best location in the French Quarter is the Omni Royal Orleans. It fulfills your request for "romantic, but not over the top". Good luck!
I would select the location in the French Quarter, its a great location. Although I have not stayed at either this location will be a lot more convenient to all the things you will want to do. W New Orleans - French Quarter 316 Chartres Street · New Orleans, LA 7013
Go for the French Quarter; it's far more romantic than the business district. And as already recommended, the Omni Royal Orleans on St. Louis Street, just a few blocks from Jackson Square, is a good choice; another good one is the Dauphine Orleans on Dauphine Street, one block from Bourbon.
