| More on the Hotel Monteleone |
| History |
| Located in the heart of the French Quarter, the Hotel Monteleone is a hotel that combines a legendary history of hospitality with a vibrant contemporary flair. It is one of only three hotels in the United States that has been designated a literary landmark. This designation was given to them from the Friends of the Library Association. Only two other hotels share this designation: The Plaza and The Algonquin in New York. These hotels have had a plethora of famous writers frequent their establishments as well as include them in their works.

| A Haunting Experience |
 In March 2003, the International Society of Paranormal Research spent several days investigating Hotel Monteleone. While at the hotel, the team made contact with more than a dozen earthbound entities. Among them were several former employees, a man named William Wildemere who died inside the hotel of natural causes, and a boy who was much older when he died but enjoys returning to Hotel Monteleone as a 10-year-old to play hide-and-seek with another young spirit.

We are just steps away from the Mississippi River, Harrah's Casino, the Aquarium of the Americas, the Superdome and numerous award-winning restaurants. Step over to Bourbon Street where there's always something happening, or wander down Royal Street where balconies overhang charming antique shops housed in buildings dating back to the 1700s. See the French Quarter from a buggy, the Garden District from a streetcar, or wander the galleries, antique marts and jazz clubs on foot. All the sights and sounds that make New Orleans unforgettable are at our doorstep. Hotel Monteleone is an historic landmark in its own right and, like the Cathedral, the Cabildo and other French Quarter landmarks, it has a character all its own. Let us take care of you in New Orleans. |
