Frommer's Review
At the foot of Canal Street, the Westin is technically in the French Quarter -- but not quite of it. It is literally above the Quarter: The grand-scale lobby is on the 11th floor of the Canal Place tower. The views of the Mississippi and French Quarter are unparalleled in the city (and will cost you about $25 more per night; it's worth it!). Rooms are now equipped with the marshmallow delight that is the Westin Heavenly bed. Entirely redone rooms have a boring but clean and fresh contemporary look in neutral colors. Bathrooms are adequately sized, but the tub/shower combo is nothing special, despite the double shower head. The renovated swimming pool has a view of the whole city while the well-equipped gym has up-to-date equipment. It's an easy walk from here to the Convention Center.
Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; heated pool; concierge; tour desk; room service; laundry; dry cleaning; direct elevator access to Canal Place shopping center w/barbershop, salon, and stores

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
