Hotel Monteleone Tours and Activities

A four-star luxury hotel with boatloads of charm and antebellum swank, Hotel Monteleone is a family-owned and -operated slice of quintessential New Orleans. Built in the Beaux-Arts style, this beautiful and stately building opened in 1886 and is now part of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The grand hotel is as much a literary landmark as it is an architectural one; writers like Tennessee Williams, Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner frequented the Monteleone’s Carousel Bar, and the hotel offers literary author suites, each dedicated to a famous American writer from the south who either visited or wrote about Hotel Monteleone.
