Hotel Monteleone

New Orleans, Louisiana

Star rating

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!

Particularly want to mention Kathy, waitress in Carrillo restaurant who was very attentive! Also Cedric the doorman who made us feel welcome and looked after. Henry the bellhop took such great care while getting us packed up that we felt bad leaving him! The front desk staff from beginning to end were delightful. You made our 30th anniversary celebration beyond special. Thank you. Read less

We always stay at the Monteleon & I have since I was a child. The staff is excellent, from the doorman, to the bellman (Henry), to the consierge, the front desk personnel, the excellent housekeepers & finally, Kathy in the restaurant. Kathy goes above and beyond to make sure our meal is perfect. Our room was very spacious, comfortable, clean, nice linens, comfy bed & pillows. I love the twice daily housekeeping service, especially the turn down service in the evening! My only complaint would be the showers. They have glass covering half the shower, then no shower door so that half of the shower is left in the open. I never could get warm in the shower & you can’t help but flood the floor. Read less

I had stayed her previously and loved the pool vibe. Relaxing, with light music, sun/food/drinks-what else could you want?! I purchased resort pass this trip to use the pool and our day was perfect! Khiya brought us floats and helped me move my pale skin to shade, while Gudiel served up amazing cocktails by Mani! 10 out of 10! Can’t wait to keep… Read more

Love this hotel, have stayed many times and I love the Carousel Bar. Staff are wonderful from front desk to cleaning staff. I want to give a shout out to Khiya at the rooftop pool and bar. She is the epitome of grace under fire as we watched one guest run her ragged with expectations of his personal server & cleaning person. She smiled thru it all, was the only server and took care of everyone else while this person barked orders at her. Khiya is an employee to be cherished! Read less
