restaurant
Criollo Restaurant: New Orleans dining is a true blending of many cultures. The European influences, including Spanish, Italian and French, are coupled with prominent contributions of Caribbean and African heritage. This combination has produced one of America?s greatest indigenous cuisines, Creole. Featuring Louisiana and the Gulf South region?s abundant bounty of fresh, home grown products from land and sea, Criollo?s menu is ingredient-driven and seasonal. This New Orleans dining sensation offers creative dishes inspired by culinary traditions and an appreciation of today?s contemporary tastes. Carousel Bar & Lounge: Immortalized in the writings of Ernest Hemingway and other timeless authors, the revolving Carousel Bar & Lounge is a part of New Orleans history. Installed in 1949, the 24-seat bar turns on 2,000 large steel rollers, pulled by a chain powered by a one-quarter horsepower motor. Patrons circumnavigate at one revolution every 15 minutes. The ride doesn?t end there. Some of its riders? most creative ideas, inspirations and business deals have been shaken and stirred to fruition here, not to mention some of the best spirits. In 2011, the Hotel Monteleone started an extensive renovation and expansion of the famous Carousel Bar & Lounge. The Carousel Bar area now has a soothing slate color on the walls adorned with antiqued mirrors as well as new furniture and wooden floors.

general
French Quarter Hotel Becomes the Monteleone In 1886, Mr. Monteleone bought a 64-room French Quarter hotel on the corner of Royal and Iberville streets. The setting was ripe for Antonio to spread his entrepreneurial wings when the nearby Commercial Hotel became available for purchase. That was the beginning of an amazing historical landmark New Orleans hotel. The Hotel Monteleone is one of the last great family-owned and -operated hotels in New Orleans. Since 1886, five 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.
