Since 1886, the Hotel Monteleone has proudly stood as one of the finest landmarks in the famous French Quarter. The hotel is the Quarter’s largest full-service hotel, featuring 600 comfortable, luxurious guestrooms and suites. Within walking-distance of some of New Orleans most famous attractions, this property is a member of the Preferred Hotels®and Resorts, a consecutive AAA Four Diamond award-winner, and has won the J.D. Power and Associates Upscale Hotel Award for “An Outstanding Guest Experiences.”  Recognized as one of the last great family-owned-and-operated hotels in New Orleans, this historic hotel celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2011. Aimed at giving this grand old hotel a fresh new look, Couristan teamed up with designers Katie Collins and Martha Sweezey of Collins & Sweezey, based in Dallas, Texas, to create woven Axminster carpets for the Monteleone’s Iberville Ballroom, Guest Corridors and Guest Suites, while 100% solution dyed nylon machine-tufted carpet graced the hotel’s Guestrooms.
