"The 600-room French Quarter hotel has made literary history and cocktail history, but it's no museum piece." Full review

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."

Many rooms feature balconies overlooking Bourbon or Dauphine street, which you might want to avoid if you're a light sleeper -- or request if you hanker after the party action.
Fodor's "One of the French Quarter's newest luxury hotels, this property has airy public spaces, landscaped courtyards, and an attractive pool area." Full review

"This 254-room upscale property located adjacent to Bourbon Street seamlessly blends the historic and contemporary." Full review
Gayot "Peaceful lodgings near the city's biggest party."
Star Service "Its smaller size and less commercial feel appeal to visitors who are abandoning the big glitzy chains in search of a commercial property with some regional flair." Full review
