About Hotel Monteleone

Antonio Monteleone, a Sicilian cobbler, bought the Hotel Victor at Royal and Iberville streets in 1886, and his family still owns and runs the hotel five generations later. The Beaux-Arts front dates from a 1908 renovation. You do not have to stay here to sit at the Carousel Bar, which has turned once every 15 minutes since 1949 and has live music seven nights a week. The bar is 21 and over after 6 pm. Guests get a heated rooftop pool that is open all year, and there is no resort fee. Check-in is at 4 pm, and dogs and cats are welcome.
