Grand Dame of the French Quarter central to area attractions
In 1886, Italian shoemaker Antonio Monteleone bought the 14-room Commercial Hotel, starting a tradition of hospitality that continues at the Monteleone to this day. The vibe throughout is retro-European, from the guest rooms' rich fabrics and marble bathrooms to the liveried doormen and distinctive Baroque façade. With its central location in the French Quarter, a few blocks from Canal Street, Jackson Square and the River Walk, the luxury Hotel Monteleone is an ideal home base for exploring the Crescent City in style.
Highlights
  • The lobby has crystal chandeliers, acres of marble and a grand European vibe
  • A serene heated rooftop pool with breathtaking views of the downtown New Orleans skyline
  • 24/7 rooftop fitness center offers panoramic views of the Mississippi River and the French Quarter
  • Boutique Spa Aria uses Pevonia Botanica organic skin care products
Rooms

A renovation updated all 600 rooms and 55 suites down to marble floors, granite countertop, HD flat screens, in room fridges and high-speed Internet  (fees apply). Pets are welcome (call for details) with a mat with water and food bowls, a bag of treats, and brochure of dog-friendly places in the city.

Features

In a city of great watering holes, Hotel Monteleone's Carousel Bar still manages to stand out from the crowd. The intricately carved bar, with its circus motif and cast of local characters, is iconic New Orleans. It was immortalized in the writings of Ernest Hemingway among others and hosts live piano music Wednesday through Saturday.  The Hunt Room Grill provides a comfortable steakhouse atmosphere and an excellent wine list.

Great Stay

Great location, a beautiful hotel. Older hotel, so the room was a little smaller, but we loved it. Really enjoyed the rooftop pool area. Views were fantastic.

Right in the Middle of Things!

Hotel Monteleone is for anyone who wants to be right in the middle of the comings and goings in New Orleans' French Quarter. The ambience on the streets of the Quarter is like that of no other city, and to be able to find good food, good music, and good people watching within a few blocks of our comfortable rooms was great, The staff, from the check-in desk to the concierge to the doorman - all were very helpful in making my stay memorable.

Perfect French Quarter location

Great hotel if you want to be right in the mix. Rooms are fine but some are smaller than others. The one my wife and I stayed in was pretty cramped. Bar and lounge area is a great place to relax at the end of the day. Pool on the other hand was pretty small for a hotel with that many rooms/guests.

Overnight Getaway

The hotel was perfectly located in the French Quarter. The staff was pleasant and accomodating. Everything was clean and well presented, The only issue we had was the loud sound when the toilet flushed each time. Other than that we would gladly visit the hotel again.

Historic Hotel in the French Quarter

Even during the madness of Mardi Gras this hotel was a haven to return to every time we needed a break. The room was on the small side but the bathroom was larger and more modern than you would expect in a 125 year old hotel. Don't miss the Carousel Bar off the lobby- its not you that's spinning in circles, it's the bar!

Napoleon House for Muffalettas are much better than Maspero's or Central Grocery where all the long lines are.

Classic New Orleans

You won't find a run of the mill chain with this hotel. Just classic New Orleans, very classy, friendly, and with a unique touch. From the friendly and helpful staff to the joyful atmosphere (thanks to the great bartenders!) at the Carousel Bar, the Monteleone is beloved by locals (like me!) and you'll find no other hotel will simply do after you stay here. Safe, quiet (for the Quarter), yet centrally located for great dining, shopping, and attractions, the Monteleone is simply the best.

Forgot something? Walgreen's is across the street and well-stocked. Dragging from a long day or a long flight? Order room service coffee - as delicious as any coffee house.
