Hotel Monteleone

214 Royal St · New Orleans, LA

Why you should go…

Antonio Monteleone, a Sicilian immigrant, bought a hotel on Royal Street in 1886, and the Monteleone is still family-owned. Its Beaux-Arts building is the only high-rise in the interior French Quarter, with 570 rooms including themed Literary Suites. Even if you are not staying, you can take a seat at the Carousel Bar, which has turned slowly since 1949. Guests also get a heated rooftop pool and Criollo, a restaurant serving Gulf and Louisiana dishes.

Good to know

General stay guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Rates swing with the calendar

    Midweek nights and shoulder-season dates are usually the kindest on price.

  • Read what is included

    Parking, resort fees, and breakfast are the three extras that most often land on the final bill.

  • Ask at booking, not at the desk

    Early check-in, late checkout, and room preferences go further when you request them in advance.

  • On a short trip, location wins

    What you can reach on foot from the door matters more than the amenities list.
