The hotel

This is not just one of New Orleans finest hotels, this is a film set – movies such as Double Jeopardy with Tommy Lee Jones and The Last Time with Michael Keaton have been filmed here. It has been said, time and time again, that the French Quarter begins in the lobby of the Monteleone and it truly does, capturing the very essence of what makes New Orleans so very special. A member of the Historic Hotels of America, you will adore your stay here, revelling in a grandeur only the Deep South can provide, and traditional decor within your room that adds a timeless touch to your stay. However, the hotel has also recently renovated rooms within the Iberville Tower if you are looking for some calmer colours. Admire stunning views from the sundeck surrounding the rooftop swimming pool, a truly blissful place to chill out, cocktail in hand and a good book beside you. At night, your starting point should be the Carousel Bar & Lounge - this has been the most celebrated bar in New Orleans since 1949, and it's still spinning, quite literally. Don't worry, the rotation is very subtle so you can still enjoy your classic cocktail at ease!

Staff is very helpful and cheerful and friendly. Hotel is worth a stay. Rooms were clean and fresh. Public areas were clean and comfortable to wait for family members to congregate.

Beautiful historic hotel in New Orleans; great location, safe, many local attractions within easy walking distance. The hotel itself is gorgeous and our room had an extremely spacious bathroom.

Beautiful historic hotel in New Orleans; great location, safe, many local attractions within easy walking distance. The hotel itself is gorgeous and our room had an extremely spacious bathroom. It felt like we walked into New Orleans of the past as soon as we entered the lobby but at the same, the hotel building and rooms have been very well preserved. I would absolutely stay here again.

Great hotel at a great location. Previous stay at Burboun Hotel had me looking to find a new hotel in French Quarter. This will remain where I stay in the future.

Thanks to the wonderful staff, we had another perfect stay at Hotel Monteleone. It started with Diamond, who was very helpful in securing our reservation. And then arriving at Hotel Monteleone is always a pleasure because of Tommy, Townsend, Earl, Carlos, and all the other garage staff. And on this visit, Carlos noticed that I had a tire going flat and repaired it for me. It doesn’t get any better than that. Also, when arriving at the registration desk, a very welcoming staff greeted us, especially Charlinne. She reminded us of the Monteleone receptionist from long ago, who stayed for years and whom we always looked forward to seeing year after year. We wish Charlinne could remain at the Hotel and that she would not have to go back to the Dominican Republic. She is such an asset to the staff. Bellman Nicholas graciously delivered us to one of the new rooms. He was great, as was the new room, which was so beautiful, brightly lit with an amazingly comfortable bed, great water pressure in the bathroom, perfect amenities, and spotlessly cleaned by housekeeping, as was the entire Hotel spotlessly clean. It just couldn’t have been better. Nicholas, Nolan, and all the Bellmen were very pleasant and very helpful. They truly seemed glad we were there. Sorry that we cannot recall all the names, but please know they were all extremely welcoming and helpful. And how could we be without Cedric at the front door? He is a class act. When you see him, you know you have arrived at Hotel Monteleone. We have never, ever had a bad stay at Hotel Monteleone, but this one was exceptional! Read less

The most comfortable bed. I slept later than normal is was so quiet and dark. Don’t hesitate to stay here. The Gumbo shop near by is a great restaurant for authentic food. We went twice
