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!

This hotel is a true gem in the heart of the French Quarter, and we look forward to returning.

We stayed at the Hotel Monteleone in August 2025 in one of the newly renovated rooms in the Iberville Tower. Our room was beautiful; the updates modernized the rooms but kept the charm of the hotel. Our bed was extremely comfortable! The carousel bar is a must do when staying here, but maybe get yourself a sea early as it is popular. Breakfast at Criollo was delicious; be sure to try one of the fresh juices, you won’t regret it! Every person we encountered from Hotel Monteleone was friendly and provided excellent service. We highly recommend staying here!

New Orleans is everything you expect and then some. The Monteleone is the perfect place to stay to enjoy the very best the city has to offer. There is live music most nights in the famous Carousel bar where you can get great cocktails and bar food. The restaurant is very classy if you prefer high end. Rooms are spacious, clean and very comfortable. The pool and Spa are great and reasonably quiet first thing in the morning.

Beautiful property with excellent staff. The level of service was stellar and sitting at the Carousel Bar was a great and fun experience! The views from the rooftop pool are breathtaking. I've stayed at this property three times now, and would love to visit again.
