Beyond the fact that Hotel Monteleone is a legendary hideaway for some of the world’s most influential authors, it serves cocktails in one of Condé Nast Traveler’s top three Big Easy bars and offers rooms that perfectly blend old and new. Opened in 1886 on Royal Street in the French Quarter, the Monteleone family-owned hotel has a rich heritage that will intrigue and delight as you walk into its grand foyer, champagne in hand, up the chandelier-lit lobby towards your well-appointed guestroom.
Choose from 600 elegant guestrooms, including 55 suites, at the Hotel Monteleone, with high ceilings, crown molding, and views of the Mississippi River or the French Quarter. The luxury suites offer extra comforts such as overstuffed king-size beds, parlors, marble and granite bathrooms, and private Jacuzzis. The hotel has been appointed as a prestigious Literary Landmark — only one of three U.S. hotels to hold this distinction. It has book-themed touches throughout, including Literary Suites decorated to the style of prominent writers who once stayed at the hotel.
