About Hotel Monteleone
It has been said that "the French Quarter begins in the lobby of the Hotel Monteleone", indeed, with its positioning at the head of Royal Street just a block away from Bourbon Street, the Monteleone stands as a historical landmark in itself. Built in 1886 by a successful Sicilian shoemaker, this striking "Beaux Arts" styled hotel takes pride in its hard earned reputation for excellence which is reflected by its host of awards, the result of four generations of the Monteleone family ownership. With its award winning restaurants, tranquil rooftop pool and famous Carousel Piano Bar - a slow revolving cocktail bar with a wild circus design; it is little wonder that the hotel was a regular haunt for American authors such as William Faulkner, Tennessee Williams and Ernest Hemingway who immortalised the hotel in his story "Night before Battle".
The Hotel Monteleone is located on the famous Royal Street in the heart of New Orleans' historic French Quarter. Bourbon Street, the home of Mardi Gras, is just one block away while the River Walk where guests can stroll and watch the steamboats and barges along the Mississippi River is just a short walk away. The hotel is also the closest French Quarter hotel to the Convention Centre giving guests the perfect opportunity to combine business with the many pleasures New Orleans has to offer. The hotel is 11 miles from Louis Armstrong International Airport.
