What they said:

There’s no more relaxing spot than this hidden gem just off Bourbon Street.
American Way, 2005

Nourish your soul in the tropical courtyard,
where the only sound is fountain water cascading,
or retire to the bedroom and lounge
on a feather bed fit for a Mardi Gras queen.
Outside Traveler, 2005

Historic feel and utterly civilized atmosphere,
steps from the bustle of Bourbon Street.
Travel and Leisure, 2005

"Desire is not just the name of a streetcar
in New Orleans. If you're looking for a
sultry Valentine's Day getaway, head to
New Orlean's Maison de Ville."
Forbes Magazine, January 2002

"Notably cozy is cottage no. 4, a two-story,
two-bedroom Shangri-La with its own gated
courtyard and antique furnishings throughout."
Child Magazine, February 2003

After he was rich and successful,
[Tennessee] Williams often stayed in the
Maison de Ville, an elegant hotel
on the Rue Toulouse.
Food and Wine Magazine, March 2000
