15 HOTEL MONTELEONE
Staying at the legendary Hotel Monteleone in the French Quarter, New Orleans, puts you right in the centre of where the literary, musical and lyrical action is. The hotel is mentioned in no less than Ernest Hemingway’s short story, Night Before Battle, and has been frequented by writers including Truman Capote and William Faulkner. Join the second line in a traditional brass band wedding march, or pay your respects to Marie Laveau, the voodoo queen, at the nearby Saint Louis Cemetery. There’s also NOLA’s famed Mardi Gras festivities to partake in.
