“Amazing Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013

7 of my girlfriends and I stayed here over MLK weekend and it was fabulous! Our standard rooms were small, but nice (love the Keurig and super comfy beds). It was even warm enough one morning to swim in the pool! And the location in the French Quarter was PERFECT! It was a close enough to Bourbon Street to feel lively, but far enough to stay classy and except for our Garden District tour, we were able to walk EVERYWHERE that was on our agenda. The bloody marys at the Carousel Bar are a must-have. You can skip the spa though unless you're really desperate. My massage was nice, but the girl who booked our reservations was confused and super disorganized and the tiny spa is not conducive to just hanging around, relaxing.

“Charming and hospitable”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 25, 2013

We stayed at the Hotel Monteleone for a night and loved the classic atmosphere and service. The room was on the small side, but very attractive. Go for a drink at the Carousel Bar - the bartender is a master. It's a must-do when in New Orleans.

Room Tip: I found the best price for my room on the hotel's own website, and it was cancellable if necessa...

“Love it”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

Although it’s in the French Quarter, it’s on the quieter side on Royal of which I love. It’s in a fantastic location, central to everything.
Unless I’m staying in NO for conference and must stay elsewhere, Hotel Monteleone is always my first pick.
The room is lovely, clean and comfortable. The service is always topnotch and everything else is a bonus.

“Excellent Holiday Adventures in NOLA”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

I would highly recommend the Hotel Monteleone if you are looking for somewhere beautiful and luxurious to stay in New Orleans. I stayed there the week before Christmas and got a fantastic rate. NOLA is slow during this week, so you can get great deals at 4-star hotels then. I plan on going again during the same time period in 2013, and I will probably stay at the Hotel Monteleone again. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the rooms were clean and beautifully decorated. The location was awesome--so close to everywhere I wanted to go and everything I wanted to do. My room was quiet, and I was able to sleep well every night. I always felt safe at this location. The hotel itself was spectacularly decorated for Christmas and I took a lot of pictures. The forest of Christmas trees that lined the lobby were breathtaking.

“Great location, great service--best place to stay in New Orleans”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

My husband and I have stayed at the Monteleone several times and will keep going back. The location in the French Quarter near Canal Street is ideal. The hotel's policies and staff are helpful and accommodating. This time, we arrived far in advance of check-in time. The desk clerk checked us in anyway. We left our bags in the check room, went to lunch, and the clerk called our mobile phone when the room was ready. The standard rooms and their bathrooms are rather cramped but otherwise very nice (comfy bed, good-sized closet with plenty of hangers, Keurig coffee maker, updated bath with great water pressure in the shower, an abundant supply of fluffy towels, powerful hair dryer . . .). The standard rooms are pleasantly free of the pricey extras many hotels provide, like overpriced bottles of water and a mini-bar with overpriced snacks and alcohol. Instead, there’s a small fridge you can stock with soft drinks from the Walgreen's across the street (prices are high, but cheaper than a mini-bar) or with wine or beer from Rouse's Market a few blocks up Royal Street. Revelers in the street outside were audible, but not enough to disturb our sleep. The staff in the breakfast room were wonderful. It’s fun to have a drink and talk to the friendly bartender and patrons at the hotel's revolving Carousel Bar, and the adjacent lounge is a great place to relax and watch the passing parade. This is a wonderful hotel.
