Hotel Monteleone

Perfect experience.I was there to attend the HNOC antiquescforum so met business associates over dinner and drinks at the bar.I will be happy when the actual Carousel Bar is repaired and up and running

We stayed at Hotel Monteleone for a long-weekend bachelorette trip, and I honestly did NOT expect to love this hotel as much as I did. I can probably count on one hand the number of 5-star reviews I’ve ever given, and this one is 100% deserved. I’ve been coming to New Orleans 1–2 times a year and have been to the Monteleone before, mainly for the Carousel Bar, so I figured staying here would be fun. I didn’t realize it would make me not want to stay anywhere else in New Orleans again. 😂 First, the staff. The service from everyone we encountered was top notch. Anytime I asked someone a question about the hotel, they actually knew something and were happy to tell me about it. I’m a huge history buff, so I loved hearing the stories and little details about the hotel. It made the whole stay feel like more than just staying somewhere, it felt like we were staying somewhere with a real history and personality. Nolan deserves a HUGE shoutout. He was definitely the person we interacted with the most, and he went above and beyond. He was knowledgeable, funny, down-to-earth, and just genuinely enjoyable to talk to. He never gave us that “I’m just doing my job” feeling. He was always willing to help with recommendations and answer our million questions. He really made an impression on us, and I hope the hotel knows how much he contributes to the guest experience. And shoutout to Kyria and Danielle as well! We didn’t have nearly as much interaction with them since they were pool staff, but they were both so nice and helpful while we were at the pool. Now the suite… WOW. We stayed in the Iberville Tower and our suite was JAW-DROPPING. It was beautiful, spacious, and spotless. And the turn-down service?! I had never experienced that at a hotel before and absolutely loved it. It was one of those little things that made the stay feel extra special. I did mention when booking that we were celebrating a bachelorette, and they sent champagne and a card, which I thought was such a thoughtful touch. Unfortunately, the card got mixed up, which was a little disappointing because it took away from what should have been a more personal moment. We also had an issue with our door during the stay. But honestly, what impressed me was how quickly they handled everything. They fixed the mix-up and were very responsive anytime we needed something. Unfortunately, the Carousel Bar was closed the entire time we were there, which was a bummer since I was looking forward to taking the group. But even without it, there was so much to love about the hotel. Also, don’t sleep on the beignets at Crillio!! They are SO good and definitely worth getting. I travel to New Orleans often, and I can honestly say Hotel Monteleone has set a new standard for me. The history, the service, the beautiful suite, the little touches, and especially the people made this stay so memorable. I will absolutely be staying here again. As a matter of fact, I already had another hotel booked for FQF, but after this stay, I canceled it because I knew I wanted to stay at Hotel Monteleone instead. 😂 That’s how much this stay impressed me.

Absolutely wonderful hotel for couples. Romantic, clean & warm, and staff was eager and ready to help all over the hotel. Could hear and feel bass from vehicles on the 8th floor, didn't have a good view but we weren't there for the view from the room. Pool was clean, staff was welcoming and eager to serve if we wanted anything. Our room was spotless and so beautiful every single day. Carousel bar was down for repair- which was super inconvenient since i booked the hotel FOR the bar/birthday celebration.

The ladies at the pool were the best!! Tanvi and Khiya held it down for us the whole time and even helped get some great photos. Amazing experience

Another wonderful stay at the Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans. The historic building and literary legacy draw you in, but it's the staff that maintains the return visit. Thank you to Eydie Barber, Shari Fisher, Nolan, Wilford, and Doruk, and to the Criollo team — the food and service are top-notch, and Criollo just ruined every other beignet for me. 🍩 Best in the city. Two tips: reserve a Carousel Bar seat in advance (it's NOT a secret; seats go fast), and poolside, order the frozen refreshment towel — a small touch, courtesy of Daniel and the pool staff, that elevates the whole visit. Destination-worthy and lives up to the hype. Can't wait to return!
