We’ve got some FRIENDLY ghosts.
As we begin to move out of summer and on towards Fall, it’s always fun to explore some of the ghost stories that feature the Hotel Motneleone.
Recently we were paid a visit by the Travelocity Gnome and it seems that while he was here he might have been visited by some ghosts that we didn’t previously know about.
The fact is, ghost stories have been roaming around the Hotel Monteleone for years, but any of the stories that have been told tend to be stories of friendly ghosts who are nice to the guests. When you’re here, you can take our free guest audio tour and hear a couple of those stories and explore them for yourself.
The first takes place on the 14th floor (which, like most hotels is actually the 13th floor). It’s the story of Little Maurice.
Another story that has been documented on several occasions is of Red the Engineer. Red has been known to watch out for folks in Le Cafe and even to check the doors on a semi-regular basis. There are many who work around the restaurant who can attest to Red’s friendly check of the doors, and every once in a while we even get reports from folks who say they felt like Red was watching over them while they were enjoying their Bayou Breakfast.
If you feel like playfully exploring some of our more ethereal visitors. Or perhaps even pretending to engage with some of your own, you might consider dropping in for the Haunted Halloween Weekend coming up this October.
Who knows… you might even be joined by a few unseen players.

Just returned home from a great stay. We took the hotel ghost tour. We wonder if our room (1467) was the room in which Maurice died. Was it?

I was attending a competition in Le Cafe and was carrying my rolling luggage towards the doors which were closed…The lobby was crowded and nobody saw what happened except for me. The doors to the cafe opened as I approached and I walked through. I did not realize what had happened until much later…hmmmm…The doors opened softly as if I was “Expected”.
