Hotel
In 1886, Antonio 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.
Each spacious guestroom offers in-room safe, minibar, high-speed Internet access, 25-inch color large screen cable television, iron and ironing board, two phones per room with voice mail, coffee maker and coffee.

Is it haunted?
Generations of hotel guests and staff have regularly experienced haunted events. This haunted hotel has a restaurant door that opens almost every evening and then closes again, even though it is locked. An elevator that stops on the wrong floor... Hotel Monteleone is known for being one of the premier haunted hotels in North America. 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."
