We timed it, and just in case you were wondering, the 360 degree rotation takes 14 minutes and 38.5 seconds--give or take the reaction time for the timer button after a few adult beverages.

Jake SmithMarch 25, 2016Take a moment to look around the lobby at the gorgeous decor and beautiful paintings of the previous owners of the hotel.

Amanda ThauMay 6, 2017Yes, the bar rotates! Be patient and order a Fleur de Lis as you wait for a seat to open up!
Chris JNovember 12, 2014Smack dab in the middle of the French Quarter. Don't complain about small rooms or no jacuzzi; just go outside and experience New Orleans.
Nelson V. GuevaraAugust 15, 2016Historic hotel, luxurious, courteous staff, soft beds, amazing pillows. Great place to stay. I'm coming back
AshleyDecember 2, 2012Love the Carousel Bar, the entertainment and location. Probably not my favorite hotel to stay at in New Orleans.
Michelin Travel & LifestyleJanuary 22, 2014Get yourself a Sazerac in the kitschy rotating Carousel Bar, then take a dip in the heated rooftop pool. - Green Guide Editor
S RajaramNovember 19, 2014Service. C.Bar. cocktails...try Veux Carre. Lobby. Well located and no noise...I got to sleep really well despite being 1 block from Bourbon street.
Amber EJune 27, 2015beautiful rooms with a great view and the most intensely cold air conditioning i have ever experienced
Carousel lounge. Get a room with a river view and try to wake up around sunrise to check it out.
Outstanding customer service. The restaurant serves delicious food too.
Shawn DankoJanuary 29, 2015Make sure you stop for a drink while you go around and around on the Carousel bar.
Anne O'SheaJanuary 2, 2014Some peeps love the Ritz or Royal Orleans but the service all the way around here is impeccable!
Brianna StegengaNovember 15, 2011Stephan!!!! Is the BEST bartender in this hotel!!! He's better up by the pool but you'll catch him by the Carousel Bar. :-) ask for this shawty!!
The Carousel Bar has been named one of the all time great hotel bars in the U.S. Great atmosphere. Only three blocks from Rue Bourbon.

Ben FloydFebruary 13, 2018Close enough to the action for Mardi Gras but far enough away from Bourbon Street!
Geoffrey GauchetOctober 28, 2011Plenty of supposed ghosts here, including a boy who wants to play hide-and-go-seek. Hotel says their ghosts are all friendly.

Amy ReyesOctober 30, 2010most comfortable beds of any hotel i've been to! parking's a little steep in price, but given the demand, i don't blame them for charging premium rates.
John WelchSeptember 7, 2018If the bathroom commode pipes hadn't leaked AND if after 4 calls no one ever fixed it. We used he majority of our towels to keep the floor dry.
I PreferMarch 21, 2013Hotel Monteleone was a stomping ground of William Faulkner, Eudora Welty, and other Southern literati.
