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!

Overall, great location and nice, quaint hotel. Poor noise insulation especially from the street. Need better lighting of elevator buttons. Obsolete bathroom amenities and shower valve and no bathroom fan to help clear foggy mirror. Needs better room lighting. TV console cabinet limits bed view of the screen.

The Hotel Monteleone is an exceptional property. First class all the way. I have stayed there many times and it is always top notch. I am always greeted at the door by a pleasant and helpful doorman. My vehicle is always well cared for and driven with care. You can't go wrong with this property.

Best breakfast - service, food, divine coffee and lovely live music that enhanced the experience without overwhelming it. Gorgeous hotel and steps away from so much to enjoy in NOLA. My daughter really enjoyed the Carousel Bar with friends both nights we were there.
