AOL Travel Editor's Review

Opened in 1886, Hotel Monteleone has long been one of the best New Orleans hotels. It’s right on Royal Street in the heart of the French Quarter and has 600 guest rooms and 55 suites. The rooms offer everything you expect from a luxury hotel: large televisions, Internet access, mini-bars and marble and granite bathrooms. The decor is Old World; the lobby is a sea of brown and cream marble crowned by a large crystal chandelier and highlighted by an ornate carved grandfather clock that towers over plush conversation groupings. There's a full service spa, pool area, a casual cafe and an elegant fine dining bistro. Monteleone's lounge, the Carousel Bar, is one of the most popular lounges in New Orleans and has been immortalized in New Orleans history (the bar is actually a carousel that turns on 2,000 large steel rollers)—definitely make time to come here for a drink, even if you’re not a guest. A number of movies have been filmed here in recent years including Double Jeopardy in 1999 and 12 Rounds in March 2008 and it’s not uncommon to see a celebrity passing through the lobby.

  My wife, son, and I stayed in the Hotel Monteleone for 4 days back in the mid-1980's. Our trip from Lubbock, Texas, to New Orleans was part of a tour package. The Monteleone was the designated hotel. I am sure theere have been some changes, but we were totally impressed by its beauty and the knowledge that we were staying in a historical place. The service was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Monteleone....   Read More
