Bringing a distinctly Italian flair to the French Quarter, the Hotel Monteleone is an ornate retreat from the hustle and bustle of this fun and lively neighbourhood. Located on Royal Street, Hotel Monteleone is a stone's throw from the city's famous jazz bars, comedy clubs and restaurants and a short walk to the Mississippi where paddle steamers still ply their trade on the waters of Big River. After a busy day in the Big Easy take a dip in the heated roof top pool which offers expansive views of the city. For those looking to maintain their fitness regime while on holiday the hotel also offers a gym. With such an enviable location there are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby but make time to visit the hotel's bar and New Orleans landmark: The Carousel Bar. Decorated like a fairground carousel, this rotating bar offers an array of delicious cocktails in a unique, fun and romantic setting. For a meal the hotel also offers Criollo, where the region's Creole cuisine is served in sumptuous surroundings. Rooms are decorated in a traditional style in keeping with the hotel's Italianate decor.
