The Carousel

The Carousel is the only revolving bar in New Orleans, an iconic establishment housed within the Hotel Monteleone since 1949. The 25-seat circular bar rotates continuously on 2,000 large steel rollers at a rate of one revolution every fifteen minutes, offering guests a unique vantage point overlooking Royal Street in the French Quarter. The ornate, carnival-inspired interior features vintage charm enhanced by fiber optic ceiling lights mimicking stars. Adjacent booths and tables provide seating for live nightly entertainment, while private mixology sessions with master bartender Marvin Allen are available daily, offering an unmissable New Orleans experience.
