The definition of timeless, Hotel Monteleone is iconic in an iconic American neighborhood. Centrally located in New Orleans’ French Quarter, this luxury hotel is within walking—or streetcar—distance of most of the city’s most famous sights.

Family-owned and operated since 1886, Hotel Monteleone features the Quarter’s only high-rise building. Its Beaux-Arts architecture and rotating bar make this hotel a popular spot for tourists visiting the Crescent City.

Hotel Monteleone is welcoming for all travelers, although it's particularly popular with couples. Guests can choose between rooms or suites, and all accommodations offer mini fridges and plush, comfy robes.

Guests can dine at one of two restaurants, Criollo and the Carousel Bar. Criollo offers seasonal dishes that put an Old World spin on Southern cuisine using local ingredients. The Carousel Piano Bar & Lounge, the only revolving bar in New Orleans, has long been a draw for patrons. Literary giants like Tennessee Williams, Ernest Hemingway, and Anne Rice have visited the bar during their trips to the hotel.

A popular filming spot for movies, this luxury hotel features a heated rooftop pool overlooking the New Orleans skyline and the Mississippi River. A fully equipped gym and the full-service day spa, Spa Aria, are also available at this pet-friendly hotel.

One block from Bourbon Street, this historic hotel is in the heart of the Quarter. The Superdome is a 20-minute walk away, while the Audubon Aquarium and the Mississippi River are just a few blocks away. Several streetcar lines are within blocks of the hotel, taking guests to other areas of New Orleans, like City Park and Saint Charles Avenue.

6.5 Okay
Pros:Love the location and the Carousel bar. Love the history and the feel of the hotel.
Cons:Our room air was very loud and the shower sprayed water up into the ceiling light which could have caused harm to us.
A
10.0 Wonderful
Pros:Hotel Monteleone is beautiful and the perfect location, but even during Mardi Gras season it was a very quite hotel. Not the perfect place to stay if you're more looking for fun, but a great place for a romantic getaway or for business. Fantastic staff.
A
7.7 Good
Pros:Great location within the French Quarter. Very beautiful hotel and nice staff.
Cons:When we checked in they told us our room had no windows and offered us 2 drink vouchers and the opportunity to "upgrade" for $100 a night. We did upgrade and got windows looking straight into parking garage. Crazy bar scene off the lobby.

A
6.0 Okay
Pros:The location is excellent
Cons:I thought the hotel looked a bit run down,not a 5 star hotel.. I did not like the fact that there was no complimentary coffee or news papers The coffee was available in the gift shop for $3.00+ / cup. Not acceptable for a supposed top flight hotel, Forget trying to get a seat at the famous Carousel bar, but it was the first weekend of Jazz Fest.

9.4 Wonderful
Cons:room # 944 is a bit too small
A
9.1 Wonderful
Pros:Friendly doormen, bellman, front desk. Love the gracious old hotel. Criollo's Restaurant had excellent food and service. One could not ask for a better location as a base of operations for leisurely tour of French Quarter.
Cons:While I don't think most rooms fit this category, we happened to get a very small room with window looking across a dark alley. Room could not have been more than 12' square, with king and furniture closet, one could not help but feel a bit claustrophobic. Be sure to ask for room with street facing widows. Housekeeping kept forgetting essentials - like TP. Had to call to request and then wait 15 min for delivery. Otherwise, excellent experience.
A
10.0 Wonderful
Pros:Location was great, room was nice and hotel was beautiful.
Cons:They didn't tell us in advance we wouldn't have a window in our room. Also the bathroom was pretty small. There is just not much room to set anything down.
A
10.0 Wonderful
Pros:Gorgeous hotel with tons of history. Fairly priced and it's in the perfect location- close to everything, bourbon street, jackson square, casino, etc. Will be staying again!
