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!

This hotel is super convenient, with friendly staff and delicious cocktails in the carousel bar. It’s more of a couple’s hotel than a family-friendly place.

My daughter and I were there for only one night for a school interview. We were so impressed with the beaty of the building and furnishings. It truly is an outstanding property with outstanding service! Earl Perkins in the parking garage was amazing! He was so friendly and right there on the spot when I needed my car. We were thankful for the amenities offered at this property. We also enjoyed all of the extras such as the beautiful bottles of still and sparkling water, pralines, chocolates, toiletries and robes/slippers. The food was delicious and the carousel bar was a treat for the senses. We also enjoyed the cool pool and roof top view in the hot afternoon. The Monteleon is a must when staying in New Orleans.

I stayed here for a work conference- in the past our conferences have been very lack luster and I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at Hotel Monteleone. Great location, staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. All the food was very good and Ari from in room dining was especially memorable and really sweet (he served me to nights in a row after long days of meetings). The rooms are a bit dated but still clean and comfortable and the lobby and bar are beautiful, Highly recommend and would stay again! Read less

We celebrated my birthday week at the beautiful Hotel Monteleone. The friendly and helpful staff gave us a warm welcome. I have been coming here for many years, and this property is even nicer than it was years ago. Terri Lamonte sent me champagne and Sugarfina, which made me feel extra special. We spent two days at the rooftop pool with Earl taking great care of us. He is a big asset to the hotel and worked very hard to accommodate all of the pool guests. The Carousel Bar is always fun and also had some terrific entertainment. Our room was spotless and very comfortable. Read less
