The sales department here at the Hotel Monteleone received word a few weeks ago that PAWS (Plaquemine Parish Animal Shelter) a no kill shelter, has been receiving a lot of dogs with pinned notes to their collars from local fishermen unable to feed them. The Gulf oil spill has been devastating on all levels and here at the Hotel Monteleone we are determined to help.
At the Hotel Monteleone we are pet friendly and when we heard the heartbreaking news about our furry friends we wanted to contribute in any way we could. So far we have collected 676 pounds of dog food donations from our Monteleone employees and one group raised over $800. You can join us in supporting the cause!
Below is a Wish List of supplies PAWS is in need of to keep our furry friends comfortable. read the rest of this post »

Do you remember your first Carousel ride? Bet your mom wasn’t far away. Treat her to a spin and a special cocktail at the Carousel Bar. Legendary author Truman Capote used to brag over drinks that his own mother gave birth to him at Hotel Monteleone. While true that his mother did live in the hotel during her pregnancy, she safely made it to the hospital in time for Truman’s debut. In case you are too relaxed from your day, feel free to stay the night and have sweet dreams on our plush mattresses and wake to a coffee by the rooftop pool overlooking the city. Sounds pretty dreamy, right? Did we mention our Mother’s Day rates start as low as $129.
