"The 600-room French Quarter hotel has made literary history and cocktail history, but it's no museum piece." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The Monteleone has been a French Quarter landmark since 1886. This family-owned hotel has undergone a major renovation, revamping its rooms with new fabrics, furniture, and amenities."

Try booking one of the “literary rooms,” named for writer guests such as Truman Capote and Ernest Hemingway.
Rough Guide "This handsome French Quarter landmark is the oldest hotel in the city, owned by the same family since 1886, and hosting a fine array of writers and luminaries since then."
Star Service "The Monteleone is a big family-owned independent in one of the best locations in the French Quarter: right in the midst of the city's finest antiques shops." Full review
Gayot "The hotel was opened by an Italian immigrant in 1886 and is still owned and run by his family. It exudes a sense of tradition with its formal street facade and marble-encrusted lobby."
BlackBook "The rooms are tasteful, if a bit on the snug side, but you may end up spending more time in the gloriously ornate lobby or the slowly-rotating Carousel Bar."

""Feel like a part of Louisiana history" at this "decadent", "lovely old hotel", a "classic" from its "beautiful" lobby and rooftop pool to the recently renovated rooms."

Fodor's "One of the most modern hotels in the French Quarter, Le Marais has trendy furnishings and a lobby that combines urban chic with an artsy New Orleans vibe." Full review
OysterMid-Range
"Hotel Le Marais is a mid-range boutique located in the heart of the French Quarter." Full review
Star Service "In a prime central location...this is one of the best modern boutique-hotels in the French Quarter, a smaller, subtler, more service-oriented translation of International House." Full review

Entry-level Deluxe rooms often stare out at walls and should be avoided.
Gayot "Visitors who were dissatisfied with the old Marie Antoinetteâs frumpy appearance will be thrilled with the Hotel Le Marais --- the property was renamed after the famous Parisian neighborhood."
Jetsetter "This chic French Quarter boutique sleep is less than a block from your Bourbon Street bender." Full review
Not For Tourists "Unimpressive, out-of-date, and near the noisy hustle of Bourbon."
The Telegraph7.0
"Bucking the traditional aesthetic in this historic neighbourhood is a brave move, but one that pays off for this contemporary property." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "one of those rare boutique hotels that manages to at once evoke the charming, old-world essence of the Big Easy...all the while reminding guests that it's set firmly in the modern age." Full review
