Dive into Summer at one of New Orleans’ Best Rooftop Pools

Hotel Monteleone’s rooftop pool oasis makes hot summer days and nights in New Orleans sublime! There’s no place better to soak up the sun, wade in the blue pool, and lounge back, taking in the French Quarter’s skyline — honestly, all year round. Access to our rooftop pool is reserved exclusively for our guests. So, no need to navigate around the crowd on your way to our Acqua Bella Poolside Bar. Please take advantage of our special summer rates and book your stay today.

At Hotel Monteleone, you can start your day getting lost in the French Quarter’s marvelous streets, return during the mid-day heat for a refreshing dip in our enormous rooftop pool, and close your evening with live entertainment and a signature cocktail and bar bite from The Carousel Bar and Lounge.

Pre-Dip: Enjoy the View from Our Rooftop.

The views from the rooftop pool offer a breathtaking view of the French Quarter. Before you lounge in the pool or know out some swim laps, take in the picturesque view of other French Quarter skyline. Charge your cell phone and prepare to take memorable photos for your friends or family that didn’t make the trip with you. Many of our guests say this is their favorite relaxing spot high above Hotel Monteleone luxurious suites.

Our rooftop pool overlooking downtown New Orleans is open from 6:00am – 10:00pm, with the poolside bar open in season from 11:00am – 6:00pm. You might spot fireworks on the Mississippi River, festive parades, or music below from the wedding second lines.
