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 was our 5th stay for my husband and I, and we just cannot say how appreciative we are of the effort the entire hotel staff puts into helping guests have a leisurely and luxurious experience. The hotel is absolutely beautiful with a retro glamour feel. We feel pricing is fair compared to other hotels in the area, and the service makes this our go-to option every time we visit. Every aspect of the hotel is spotlessly clean, especially the rooms. Some may feel the rooms are dated, but we love the throw-back feel. You can tell housekeeping works very hard and they left us nice little touches, like chocolates on our pillows one evening. Criollo is always consistently excellent with their jazz brunch, the Carousel Bar is fun with music and staff that were always checking on us, and the carafe of coffee we ordered in the morning from room service was delicious and fresh. We are grateful to have the ability to splurge and thankful that Monteleone does not disappoint. It's rare that a local, family owned hotel still exists, and we get the feeling that they treat their employees well. Support the local economy by staying here! Read less

There are not enough wonderful adjectives to use for this hotel. From the time we checked in until the minute we left was incredible! Sariod. our bellman, was wonderful ! He made sure that I was taken care of as I trudged across the street to retrieve my swim bag from my parked car. Such a polite and wonderful young man!! As we came back inside and I thanked him numerous times, he made the comment” while you are staying with us, we will take care of you” and that they did! Melanie the parking lot attendant, Khiya, who took care of me at the pool area, Paulette Sabel the housekeeping supervisor, Brittany. Sharese and Neicy at the front desk.. all made our stay beyond incredible! We loved every minute of our stay! Thanks for our mini vacation!! Read less

I arrived early in the morning around 7 am and they checked me in 15 minutes. The warm welcome of doorman Mike set the mood of the whole trip and live music in the evening was the cherry on top.
