Fodor's Review:

The grande dame of French Quarter hotels—with its ornate baroque facade, liveried doormen, and shimmering lobby chandeliers—was built in 1886 and renovated in 2004. A stellar addition is the full-service Spa Aria. Rooms are extra large and luxurious, with rich fabrics and a mix of four-poster beds, brass beds, and beds with traditional headboards. Junior suites are spacious; sumptuous VIP suites come with extra pampering. The slowly revolving Carousel Piano Bar in the lobby is a local landmark, and the first-rate dinner in the hotel's Hunt Room Grill is one of the city's best-kept secrets. There's live jazz every night in the lounge.

On our way cross country we stopped to spend the night in the French Quarter. The Hotel has a great location in the Quarter with easy walking distance to numerous attractions. The room was nicely appointed and the atmosphere was elegant with an old New Orleans feel. I thought the value was good considering the location and room quality. The service was excellent, however I wish the parking garage valet would have informed us our tire was flat. I did not inspect the vehicle upon leaving and did notice until we nearly entered the IH 10 freeway. The flat caused considerable delay and frustration finding an open tire service center.

While there is a lot of history here, and our suite was large, the bed was terrible. Way too soft. Another issue was the fact that they use a flat sheet instead of a fitted for the mattress. The linens were high quality, but the use of a flat sheet in a hotel that is supposed to be 4-5 stars is a joke. Some of the staff were wonderful, others had way too much attitude to be in the service industry. Great to be back in New Orleans and had a great time, but next time we'll skip the Monteleone.
