Thank you for sharing your review of the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. You are correct that the location can't be beat: it's pretty much in the center of the Quarter. The hotel was not constructed in 1830. It was constructed on the site of the St. Louis Hotel. It opened in 1960. Although it is nicknamed the Royal or the Royal O, the proper name of the hotel before Omni Hotels acquired the lease in 1986, was the Royal Orleans. I don't think that anyone refers to it as the Omni, the Omni Royal, or the Omni Royal Orleans. If you're ever back either at the hotel or just in New Orleans, and you did not already do so, you might want to try the Touche' Bar. The entrance is on Royal Street: there is no guest access to the bar through the hotel. Bon voyage!
