Fun Facts About Hotel Monteleone
Hotel Monteleone offers an inviting blend of historic charm and modern comfort in the heart of the French Quarter. Steps from Bourbon Street and top cultural attractions, attendees can enjoy the city’s music, food, and energy between sessions. Inside, stylish rooms, the iconic Carousel Bar & Lounge, and a rooftop terrace create a memorable setting, all supported by attentive service that keeps events running seamlessly.
- The hotel was founded in 1886 by Sicilian immigrant Antonio Monteleone, making it one of the oldest continuously operated hotels in the French Quarter.
- The famous Carousel Bar & Lounge (pictured below)—with its 25-seat carousel that slowly revolves every 15 minutes—is the only rotating bar of its kind in New Orleans, and has welcomed legendary writers like Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams and William Faulkner over the decades.
