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.
