| The Hotel Monteleone has long been a favorite haunt of distinguished Southern authors and many of them immortalized the grand dame of the French Quarter in their works. Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams, and William Faulkner always made 214 Royal Street their address while in the Crescent City. This year we pay tribute to our literary heritage with several literary events as well as with the launch of our History Book. |
Music beats at the heart of the French Quarter and at the Hotel Monteleone.

| HOTEL MONTELONE RENOVATIONS |
In celebration of our 125 year anniversary, Hotel Monteleone will embark on a renovation to its restaurants and an expansion of the famous Carousel Bar lounge area. In preserving our past, it is our obligation to preserve our hotel for the future. For some time it has been a vision of our ownership to create this new venue and only recently has the decision been made to move forward. The renovation will begin early June and is scheduled for completion early 2012.
Hotel Monteleone’s Facebook and Website will be updated with photos and information during the course of the renovation. Photos of the progress will be posted weekly. You will be able to watch live and be part of the activity. If you haven’t yet, you may wish to visit our memorabilia shop We continue to make history! |

Since its founding in 1886, the luxurious Hotel Monteleone has made an historical, economical and cultural impact not only on the French Quarter, but on the entire city of New Orleans. As it looks back on 125 years in 2011, the “Grand Dame of the French Quarter” celebrates the people, the community and the employees that have made the legendary landmark a sparkling jewel in the heart of the Vieux Carré.
During the course of the year, the Hotel Monteleone will recognize the various aspects that make up its colorful character including the literary, musical, culinary, political and paranormal influences. It will pay tribute to authors such as Tennessee Williams, William Faulkner and Ernest Hemmingway who have stayed at and immortalized the Hotel in their works, and thus earned it the prestigious distinction as a Literary Landmark – an honor bestowed upon only three hotels in the country.
The Hotel Monteleone will also acknowledge musical legends including Etta James and locals such as Dr. John, Louis Prima and Allen Toussaint among others who have entertained crowds with their melodious sounds over the years in the famous, revolving Carousel Bar, making it a regular hotspot for locals and tourists. Home to the “Vieux Carré Cocktail” and “The Goody,” the Hotel Monteleone’s bar has regularly been voted as the best hotel bar in the city. On another musical note, the Hotel will continue its sponsorship of the popular Broadway Across America series and will offer special theatre packages as a result.
In addition to musical legends and events, the Hotel played host to almost every Louisiana governor at least once during their time in office and will pay tribute to these individuals on several occasions including a Legacy Series Luncheon in June and a birthday party for former Governor Edwin Edwards in July. Finally, the Hotel Monteleone recognizes that some people who come to the Hotel don’t ever want to leave. Named as one of the top haunted hotels in the country, the Hotel Monteleone is home to more than a dozen friendly ghosts as discovered by the International Society of Paranormal Research in 2003. Generations of Hotel guests and staff have experienced haunted events that would cause even the staunchest skeptic to take pause.
