  • Steps from Canal Street shopping, Caesars New Orleans Casino, and the Riverwalk area.
  • About 0.4–0.8 mi to Bourbon Street and French Quarter attractions by foot or a short ride.
  • Convenient for convention attendees and guests wanting river or Canal Street proximity.

Choose Four Seasons if you prefer a riverfront setting with easy access to Canal Street and convention areas.

Rooms: historic character vs contemporary luxury

Hotel Monteleone – Rooms

Hotel Monteleone’s rooms reflect the property’s historic character; the dossier lists 'Superior Room, Tower (1 King Bed)' among room types.

  • Rooms in a historic building—expect classic finishes and varied room layouts.
  • Complimentary high-speed Wi‑Fi; paid upgrade for higher speeds is available.
  • Larger room count means more variety; reservation-holder must be at least 21 to check in.

If you want historic rooms in the French Quarter with character, Monteleone offers that more than a uniform contemporary product.

Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans – Rooms

Four Seasons provides a consistent, contemporary luxury room product with many river- and city-view options.

  • 341 air-conditioned rooms with tablet computers and LCD TVs; many rooms have River View options.
  • Premium bedding, designer toiletries, and complimentary Wi‑Fi.
  • Multiple accessible room types and several suite configurations listed by the supplier.

Pick Four Seasons if you want a modern, consistent luxury room experience and river views from many room types.

Dining & drinks: local flavor vs polished signature dining

Hotel Monteleone – Dining & drinks

Hotel Monteleone focuses on Louisiana/Gulf Coast cuisine and historic drinking spots.

  • Criollo Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, jazz brunch and seasonal Louisiana dishes; reservations suggested.
  • Carousel Bar & Lounge is the hotel's 25-seat revolving bar (open daily) with live entertainment mid-week to weekend.
  • Acqua Bella Poolside Bar offers seafood, cocktails and light fare beside the rooftop pool.

  • Expect refined, contemporary presentation consistent with an ultra-luxury brand.

Pools & rooftop: city views vs riverfront pool

Hotel Monteleone – Pools & rooftop

Hotel Monteleone has a heated rooftop pool reserved for guests with a poolside bar and views over the French Quarter and Mississippi River.

  • Rooftop pool open daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM and is guest-only year-round.
  • Acqua Bella Poolside Bar serves cocktails and light fare; pool sits adjacent to the rooftop fitness center.
  • Rooftop setting makes the pool more intimate and suited to sightseeing breaks rather than extensive resort days.

Monteleone’s rooftop pool is a distinctive small-city feature—great for cooling off between French Quarter activities.

Four Seasons lists one outdoor pool and poolside bar as part of its on-site amenities.

  • Outdoor pool with poolside bar and loungers; pool hoist and wheelchair-accessible pool facilities are noted.
  • Pool hours and guest rules are published by the property; spa reservations recommended in advance.

Hotel Monteleone – Wellness & nightlife

Hotel Monteleone has Spa Aria and a 24-hour rooftop fitness center; nightlife centers on the Carousel Bar and the French Quarter.

  • Spa Aria offers facials, massages, body treatments and signature 'Full Monte' package.
  • Fitness center is rooftop and available 24 hours with Technogym equipment.
  • Live entertainment at Carousel Bar Wednesday–Sunday; French Quarter nightlife steps away.

Monteleone mixes a compact but well-equipped spa with authentic local nightlife right outside the door.

Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans – Wellness & nightlife

Four Seasons provides a full-service spa with a steam room and multiple treatment options plus polished evening lounge options.

  • Full-service spa with massages, facials and body treatments; reservations required for spa services.
  • Steam room and fitness facilities; spa and pool are wheelchair-accessible.
