Lisa Spencer, Marketing Assistant, Raymond James Associates, Inc.
“I just wanted to let the team at the Royal Sonesta know what a wonderful job you did on our last meeting, attended by the some of the top Financial Advisors at out firm. The guest rooms were lovely, the food was superb, and the Royal Sonesta staff was extremely courteous and helpful to everyone in attendance. Everyone had a wonderful time. I had nothing but compliments from both my external and internal clients (and they are tough customers to please). The Royal Sonesta team made me look great and I really appreciate that!”

Cathy Ross, Office Manager, Aramark
“The staff at the hotel was wonderful. Any request I made was handled promptly. Everyone was extremely friendly and easy to work with. The bell staff did an excellent job of bag handling and assisting with departures. That was the most organized group departure I’ve ever experienced! Rick Vita was extremely accessible and a pleasure to work with. The hotel staff can make or break a program, and your staff made me look good!”

Jim Barri, Executive Vice President, Compass Bank
“Our Annual Incentive Awards meeting was by far the best experience we ever had! The food was great, the service wonderful, it was just outstanding!”

Katie Reeber, Trip Director, Carlson Marketing Group
“The Royal Sonesta overall is a quality hotel and I have enjoyed being here and working here. The employees as individuals are really what makes the hotel special…They are extremely friendly, courteous, helpful, approachable, and most of all available.”

Pamela Davis, Director, Member Services, International Cemetery & Funeral Association
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for helping to make the ICFA Conference such a success. It was a pleasure to finally be able to hold a meeting in your property after visiting New Orleans so many times and using the larger convention hotels. It was quite obvious that many of your staff have been with you for several years and believe in the word ’service.’ We tallied evaluations on the conference and learned that 80% rated the accommodations as very satisfactory, and 81% rated the restaurants as very satisfactory (very satisfactory is the highest rating). The numbers speak for themselves.”

Walt Navoy, Sales Manager, Schlumberger Oilfield Services
“The Schlumberger Mardi Gras committee and myself would like to thank you and the staff of the Royal Sonesta for providing excellent service during Mardi Gras 2002. The entire staff was very professional and attentive to all of the requests and events that were conducted by Schlumberger. The service that we received ensures that we can continue to conduct events at the Royal Sonesta in the future.”

Alisa Ross, Meeting Planner, The Dow Chemical Company
“I want to take this opportunity to compliment your staff for its professional and outstanding service regarding our Dow Ethyleneamines Customer Appreciation Event. From all the comments I have received, our attendees had a most successful program and were able to enjoy a little New Orleans hospitality! We look forward to working with you in the future.”

Mary Louis, Assistant to the Executive Vice President & CFO, Novartis Corporation
“On behalf of all the attendees at the Novartis US Finance Meeting held at the Royal Sonesta Hotel New Orleans December 5-7, 2001, thank you for a very positive experience. The hotel provided a very comfortable and convenient setting for our meeting. Your staff, without exception, was pleasant, helpful and efficient.
