The honest take
Book the Marriott Warehouse Arts District if you want a modern, reliable room near the convention centre for under half the price, breakfast included. Book Hotel Monteleone if you want to be inside the French Quarter proper, a block from Bourbon Street, with a spa, rooftop pool and a hotel that's part of the city's literary history. At $149 versus $338 a night, the gap is real, and the Marriott's 9.6 guest rating against 1,060 reviews for the Monteleone shows both are well liked, just for different trips.
The look and the feel
New Orleans Marriott Warehouse Arts District
This is a contemporary Marriott in the Warehouse Arts District, recently redesigned rooms with flat-screen TVs and M Club lounge access for the upgraded tier. The lobby and public spaces read as clean, corporate-modern rather than characterful: an international restaurant, vending machines, a 24-hour self-service business centre. It's built for the convention crowd and business travellers who want efficiency over atmosphere, a few blocks' walk from the French Quarter's edges.
Business travellers and convention-goers who want a modern, well-priced room close to the convention center and don't need to be inside the French Quarter itself.
Hotel Monteleone
The Monteleone is a New Orleans institution on Royal Street, a grand dame hotel with a genuine literary pedigree, Faulkner, Hemingway and Tennessee Williams all stayed or drank here. The signature feature is the Carousel Bar, an actual rotating bar that slowly turns as you drink, all brass and carnival colour. Rooms carry earth tones, high ceilings, marble and granite bathrooms with plush robes, an old-hotel solidity rather than a boutique makeover. There's a heated rooftop pool, a full-service spa, and Criollo restaurant downstairs, and the whole place sits a block from Bourbon Street in the thick of the Quarter.
Travellers who want the atmosphere and history of the French Quarter, with a spa, rooftop pool and the novelty of drinking at a slowly rotating bar.
At $149 the Marriott has no spa and doesn't allow pets, and it trades the Monteleone's rooftop pool and Quarter-adjacent address for a modern but generic business-hotel setting near the convention center.
The Monteleone is the more beautiful and characterful place to be, with its literary history, marble bathrooms and a bar that actually spins, against a competent but forgettable modern Marriott interior.
