Traveling to New Orleans and want to stay in a conveniently located and luxurious hotel? Hotel Monteleon is the perfect choice.

Located on Royal Street in the French Quarter, this hotel has been a local landmark since 1886. This beautiful hotel has much to offer to its visitors: restaurant, spa, bar, rooftop pool, meeting rooms, concierge service, and more.

Part of the beauty of this hotel is the effort taken to make all aspects of it perfect for visitors, which we experienced during our mini-honeymoon in New Orleans. When an extra set of towels was needed, they were delivered, neatly tied in green ribbon. No matter where we were in the hotel, we were greeted kindly by staff members. Additionally, the staff seemed happy to work there, which makes a stay at a hotel more enjoyable. (To my opinion, having employees complain or be lackadaisical makes a stay less pleasant.)

We enjoyed several of the hotel’s amenities while at the Monteleon. After an afternoon walking through New Orleans, we enjoyed a pre-dinner drink at the Carousel. This aptly-named bar rotatesturns at a rate of 15 minutes per rotation. Both my husband and I enjoyed a cooling cocktail. To enjoy the sunny weather, part of one afternoon was spent at the rooftop pool. A perfectly heated pool surrounded by lounge chairs and cocktail tables provided a relaxing environment.

In addition to the benefits of services, the hotel is located in the heart of the French Quarter. We were amidst many fine shops, art galleries, and restaurants. Plus, we could walk to other attractions, such as the casino.

If you want to stay at a hotel that offers excellent service, beautiful surroundings, and a convenient location, try Hotel Monteleon. It definitely made our getaway for two all the more special.
