Carousel Piano Bar
When staying at the Hotel Monteleone, a visit to its famous Carousel Piano Bar is a must. The bar revolves around the room and the ceiling creates an illusion of a night sky.
The 25-seat bar revolves around the room powered by a one-quarter horsepower motor. The bar overlooks the Royal Street in the famous French Quarter. The revolving bar was originally installed in 1949; the current carousel top was added in 1992 during a renovation. The ceiling is laced with fiber optics to create a night sky illusion complete with a shooting star at regular intervals.
If drinking while turning around in a circle is not for you, sit in the adjoining room with live piano music. You may also be interested to know that Vieux Carre Cocktail and The Goody were invented at the Carousel bar.
