Location: In the Quarter vs. riverside

Hotel Monteleone – Location

Hotel Monteleone sits at 214 Royal Street in the heart of the French Quarter — one block from Bourbon Street.

  • Walk to Bourbon Street in about a minute; Jackson Square, French Market and the riverfront are steps away.
  • Good pick if you want immediate access to bars, galleries, and historic streets.
  • Streetcar and RTA transit access are nearby for trips beyond the Quarter.

Choose Monteleone to be immersed in the French Quarter’s streets and nightlife.

The Westin New Orleans – Location

The Westin New Orleans sits on the Canal/riverfront edge, close to Canal Place and a short walk to Bourbon Street.

  • Riverfront position gives easy access to the Mississippi Riverwalk, Canal Street shopping and river views.
  • About a 5–10 minute walk to the French Quarter’s core attractions.
  • Close to Caesars New Orleans Casino and convention areas.

Choose The Westin for riverfront proximity and an easy walk to the Quarter without being in its busiest blocks.

Rooms: historic charm vs. modern comfort

Hotel Monteleone – Rooms

Monteleone’s rooms reflect a historic hotel with classic details and a single listed room type (Superior Room, Tower).

  • Rooms come with complimentary high-speed WiFi and standard amenities.
  • Hotel has roughly 570 rooms across many floors in a historic layout.
  • Some rooms and public areas have period character rather than contemporary minimalism.

Pick Monteleone if you value atmosphere and staying inside a landmark property.

The Westin New Orleans – Rooms

The Westin offers 462 air-conditioned rooms with options that include city and river views.

  • Room types include Traditional Room, 1 King Bed and multiple River View options (e.g., Deluxe Room, 1 King Bed, River View; Suite, 1 King Bed, River View).
  • Rooms feature pillowtop beds, refrigerators and flat-screen TVs; complimentary WiFi is provided.
  • Accessible room options are available (mobility/hearing accessible listings present).

Pick The Westin for more standardized, modern room choices and explicit river-view options.

Dining & drinks: local flavor vs. a single on-site restaurant

Hotel Monteleone – Dining & drinks

Hotel Monteleone emphasizes local cuisine and landmark bars.

  • Criollo Restaurant serves Louisiana/Gulf Coast cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner (reservation suggested).
  • Carousel Bar & Lounge is a historic 25-seat rotating bar with live entertainment several nights per week.
  • Acqua Bella Poolside Bar serves cocktails and light fare on the rooftop during daytime hours.

Monteleone is the pick for iconic bars and Creole/Cajun-influenced dining steps from Royal Street.

The Westin New Orleans – Dining & drinks

The Westin provides a single on-site restaurant and 24-hour room service with cooked-to-order breakfast available for a surcharge.

  • Bistro at the Bend is the hotel's on-site restaurant and bar.
  • 24-hour room service and weekday/weekend cooked-to-order breakfasts (fee applies).
  • Concierge can suggest many nearby French Quarter dining options within a short walk.

The Westin suits travelers who want predictable on-site dining plus easy access to Canal Street restaurants.

Pools & signature amenity: rooftop pool vs. riverfront views

Hotel Monteleone – Pools & signature amenity

Hotel Monteleone’s heated rooftop pool is a guest-only feature with a poolside bar and Quarter/river views.

  • Pool open daily year-round from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM and reserved for hotel guests.
  • Acqua Bella Poolside Bar serves cocktails and light seafood beside the pool.
  • Pool area sits adjacent to the rooftop fitness center, offering skyline/river sightlines.

If an accessible rooftop pool matters, Monteleone has a clear edge.

The Westin New Orleans – Pools & signature amenity

The Westin emphasizes riverfront positioning and city/river views from many rooms and public areas.

  • Rooms include multiple River View options to prioritize the Mississippi River outlook.
  • The hotel sits steps from Goldring Woldenberg Riverfront Park and the riverwalk.
  • On-site outdoor pool information is not published in the supplier listing.

Choose The Westin for consistent riverfront vantage points; confirm pool details with the hotel if a pool is essential.

Wellness & nightlife: spa and live music vs. fitness and meetings

Hotel Monteleone – Wellness & nightlife

Monteleone mixes a full-service spa and rooftop fitness with in-hotel live music at the Carousel Bar.

  • Spa Aria offers massages, facials and packages (Full Monte signature package available).
  • 24-hour rooftop fitness center with Technogym equipment overlooks the river/Quarter.
  • Carousel Bar features live entertainment Wednesday–Sunday, making late-night drinks an on-site option.

Monteleone covers both relaxation (spa) and on-site evening music in a historic setting.

The Westin New Orleans – Wellness & nightlife

The Westin provides a 24-hour business center, concierge-led activities and a 24-hour fitness facility.

  • 24-hour fitness facilities are available on-site.
  • Extensive meeting and ballroom space supports events and conference travelers.
  • On-site nightlife is lower-key; nearby Quarter and Canal Street have the primary late-night options.
