Hotel Monteleone

I just can’t get enough of the world’s best beignets at Criollo inside of Hotel Monteleone! Every time I am in NOLA it’s a must! Their coffee is also to die for. My last visit Jessica and Praveen served me and they were extraordinary. Delicious food, great service, count me in! I travel all over the world and this is one of my favorite spots!

I visited this hotel very briefly the other day. While there, i met Earl the pool manager. You can tell by the way Earl speaks about this city, and what he is willing to tell you about it, that New Orleans is a home he cannot help but be proud of. Earl's love for this city is tangible, in that he has a way of transferring his experience into your memory so when he describes anything, you can see what he's talking about on the French Quarter's many rooftops and on the Mississippi's curve. Earl's openness and hospitality is but a drop in the bucket that tourists are holding out for this city to enlighten us with its charity, which is ironic because it is usually the tourists who drop gifts in hats down here. In short, the Monteleone is historic and has many attractions, but the heart of this place, the reason my friend and I stayed as long as we did, is because Earl the pool manager made us feel so welcomed. Earl is willing to share his slice of heaven with whomever is curious enough to check out what this city means to those who have lived here their whole lives and have cultivated the reasons why millions of people visit New Orleans every year.

I came for a conference for 7 days with my husband end of Oct beginning of November 2024 and LOVED my stay at Hotel Monteleone. The staff are the highlight; personable, professional, attentive. I wish I remembered everyone's names but Khiya from the pool, Guidel, the door man, and the man who checks luggage (on 11/4 especially) were phenomenal. Loved the pool, housekeeping was excellent. It was clean, pleasant. The gym had apples, bananas, water, towels and light snacks which was handy for breakfasts. I just can't say enough about how friendly and welcoming the staff are. Also, the drinks and atmosphere at the carousel bar were just so fun.

The Monteleone is a classic! Service is unparalleled from Cedric who meets you at the curb to all staff involved getting you to your room you will be taken care of. Yes, the rooms are on the small side, but they have every convenience needed and are top quality. Service is provided when needed and comes with little surprises. Pool area is relaxing, Carousel Bar lively. One of a kind stay in New Orleans!

This place is fantastic, 5-star hotel in every sense. The restaurant & bar attached are phenomenal, the door man Cedric goes above and beyond. Great location, clean spacious rooms, they even have a spa for all your self-care needs! I will stay here every time I visit New Orleans!
