"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."
