In 1886, Mr. Monteleone bought a 64-room hotel on the corner of Royal and Iberville streets in New Orleans’ world famous French Quarter. The setting was ripe for Antonio to spread his entrepreneurial wings when the nearby Commercial Hotel became available for purchase. That was only the beginning of an amazing historical landmark that is one of the last great family owned and operated hotels in the city. Since 1886, four generations of Monteleones have dedicated themselves to making their hotel what it was and still is- a sparkling jewel in the heart of the French Quarter.Hotel Monteleone 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.
What a unique and interesting idea! Thanks for letting us know about it. Oh, and I love your carousel photo!
