Shops, restaurants, music and Bourbon Street are all close, yet the hotel has enough scale to operate as a destination in its own right. The interiors lean into traditional New Orleans grandeur with marble, chandeliers, brass and classic guest-room detailing. Its famous circular bar slowly rotates beneath a carousel canopy, creating one of the city’s most recognizable drinking rooms and a gathering point that attracts locals as readily as hotel guests.

Hotel Monteleone is a fifth-generation French Quarter landmark, home to the rotating Carousel Bar, a rooftop pool and more than a century of New Orleans literary and hospitality history.
