This is a beautiful old hotel. Lots of marble and wood adorn this place and upon arrival in the lobby, you enter an earlier time of luxury and excess. The place is covered in marble, wood and brass. The reason for this is it was originally built as the Masonic Building in 1927 and much of the pre-Depression era decorations remain. I was told by one of the staff, that the original movie theater is still in the building, but the owners haven't decide whether to restore it and open it to guest as well the rest of the city. If you love old American art deco, then this is your 20-stories of greatness in downtown New Orleans. The staff is great, but the rooms are a little small for the price paid, but that is acceptable due to keeping it as original as possible (it recently have a multi-million dollar renovation). My only major complaint about staying here was having to pay for internet service to the tune of $12 a day in your room. I thought this was ridiculous in that the lesser hotels in this chain offer it for free. If you rent a car, parking is somewhat expensive too, but there really isn't a need to have a car in New Orleans.
The food at Luke, the restaurant next door, is excellent, if a bit pricey. They have room service to the hotel and I sampled many things from the menu. You have to have the shrimp and grits or the bacon burger.....just perfect. One other great thing is that the famous St. Charles street car stops right in the front of the hotel which makes you close to everything.

| Hilton New Orleans / St Charles Ave: Be Mesmerized by the Hotel Monaco

Upon entering the Hotel Monaco we were immediately swept away by the luxuriuous decor! Instantly we were seduced by the flames coming from the fireplace. As we made our way into the elevator we were greeted by the sweet melodies of New Orleans jazz. After we danced our way out of the elevator we proceeded to our room. We can only describe the room as, "Home, Sweet, Home". All the little details from the leopard print robes hanging in the closet to the faux mink bed cover made our room exquisite. The beds were very comfortable and the beautiful canopies gave it that extra touch. It was also nice that in addition to cleaning your room each day, housekeeping service would have music playing for you when you returned to your room every night. The hotel provided complimentary wine at 5:00 every evening which is a nice way to mingle with the other guests.
The Hotel Monaco exceeded our expectations. We hope you enjoy your stay as well.
P.S. Any problems that the hotel might have had with hot water have been completely resolved.
Complimentary wine, leopard print robes, Aveda products, Starbucks coffee, daily newspaper, music already playing for you when you return to your room at night, pet friendly and optional goldfish in your room.
