"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."

Frommer's "It's an old-fashioned... business hotel, clearly targeting a certain kind of traveler who isn't impressed by the hip minimalists springing up everywhere." Full review
Fodor's "Great suites and superior service keep this popular convention hotel a CBD favorite." Full review
Lonely Planet "Somewhat lost amidst a vast modern office complex, the hotel has large and comfortable rooms, plus a slew of amenities aimed at business travellers." Full review

Gayot "The deep-red, polished-marble exterior of the InterContinental dominates the corner of Poydras Street and St. Charles Avenue."
Zagat4.0
"For a "luxurious" but "not extravagant" "getaway", worker bees and tourists "return" to this "reliable" CBD convention high-rise."
Jetsetter "Revamped business-centric sleep on New Orleans’s iconic St. Charles Avenue, with a rooftop pool and Gulf Coast–focused restaurant." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Steps from the historic French Quarter and riverfront, the hotel offers a rooftop pool with city views, and a convenient location near many of the city's best attractions"
