The Restaurant at Hotel Monteleone

"The fitness equipment is notably good, and Criollo Restaurant is a big step up from standard hotel fare"

"But time doesn't stand still here: the revolving Carousel Bar and Lounge, a see-and-be-seen spot since 1949, is still lively; the well-equipped fitness center has a great view of the Mississippi River; and the Criollo restaurant serves modern takes on Creole classics"

"Monteleone renovated guest rooms in 2010, completing its new look in 2012 with updates to its common areas and restaurant"

"Though with fabulous amenities like the rooftop pool, Spa Aria, Criollo Restaurant and the Carousel Bar, you don’t even have to leave to find a New Orleans state of mind"

"A newer addition to the hotel is the restaurant Criollo, offering an updated take on traditional N’awlins fare"

"The new Criollo Restaurant ties traditional culinary influences to a contemporary wagon, providing an exciting ride for foodies looking for something upscale that won’t break the bank"
