Hotel Monteleone

A trip to NOLA would not be complete unless we stayed at the Monteleone. This place is PHENOMINAL! This place has a way of making you feel very special and pampered. I highly recommend this place! You do not want for anything!

What a lovely stay. This was my second time. I like the location and access to the outlet, the French Quarter, and local sites. I could walk most places in under 15 minutes. The staff is amazing and I can't sing their praises enough.

Hotel Monteleone delivered an exceptional experience during our recent four-night stay celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary and milestone birthday. Location: Exceptional. Situated in the heart of the French Quarter, the hotel provides immediate access to galleries, dining, shops, and street culture without requiring transportation. The walkability is a major advantage. Service & Accommodations: Consistently outstanding. The staff demonstrated genuine attentiveness and flexibility at every turn. They accommodated an early check-in request seamlessly, and provided secure luggage storage throughout our stay—a thoughtful service that allowed us to explore freely without managing bags. From smooth check-in to thoughtful checkout coordination, the hospitality felt personal, not transactional. Cleanliness: Immaculate. Our room was spotless daily, with fresh linens and meticulous housekeeping. Attention to detail was evident throughout. The Carousel Bar: A standout amenity. The rotating bar in the lobby is an iconic, romantic experience—perfect for a celebratory toast and a quintessential New Orleans memory. It became the natural bookend to our trip.

My wife and I usually celebrate a 1-2 night stay in the city for our anniversary. Wherever we stay, we are usually woken up at night by fighting, drunks, shouting, or revilers, in the hallways during the night, regardless of the hotel. We experienced none of that here and got 2 nights of perfect rest after being about in the city all day. It may have been the luck of the draw, but it still happened. The short side hallways off the main hallways for many rooms also help with less traffic and that's what we had for our room. The rooms were clean and nicely furnished but the housekeeping was FANTASTIC! The little extra details the housekeeping staff would do left us very impressed. Our particualr room was on par with the prices of other places we stayed, but our experience was so much better than other places, so I consider it a good value. I also noticed, for whatever reason, a much classier group of hotel guests wherever I went in the hotel. Maybe I was just lucky this time, but we did not come across any hotel guests that were rude, loud, obnoxious, plastered, noisy, unprofessional, improperly dressed, or looked like they would be acting inappropiately in the hotel. This is the number one thing we usually experince in New Orleans hotels, but we did not have any of this for our stay. The staff we interacted with at the desk and on the phone when booking were top notch. The check-in could have gone quicker at peak times with more counter staff, but our stay was so good, we overlooked this. The beds were nice and clean, our particular room was quiet at night, the air conditioner worked properly and made the room cold, and our bathroom was nice and had great showers with hot water and massive water pressure...the best part of a trip in hot humid New Orleans when you come in for the evening. Royal Street is much quieter and nicer than the noisy party area hotels, so I like the location, as I'm not here for all of that commotion. There should be cheaper parking options, but that seems to be everywhere in New Orleans. The lobby was clean, classy, and nicely decorated. Yes the Carousel Bar is always crowded and nearly impossible to get into, but it's a super popular attraction, and I live here so I've been in it before and that doesn't bother me. The hotel is in a good location to get away from most of the noise and still in walking distance of everything you'll probably want to see in the French Quarter area. It's still New Orleans, so you'll see drunks, homeless, some drug use, and lots of riff-raff, but we were able to get away from this each evening when we got back to our hotel which is nice to leave that out on the streets. The NOPD district station is also only a 3-minute walk right down the sidwalk. I've paid the same amount of money per night to stay in other New Orleans hotels each year for our Anniversary, but this time I lucked out as this was the best experience we have had yet. We may have just been lucky this time with such a quiet peaceful night, but this was our experience, and I certainly noticed a higher standard of quests in this hotel compared to many of the others we have stayed at. This has been a fantastic trip, and I would certainly stay here again. Make sure to read up on the hotel's history as it is very interesting and it is still family owned for generations. Maybe that's why it beats out many of the other hotels.

Excellent Hotel...Great location close too Bourbon Street but quiet. Always lively bar, good service....
