New Host Hotel: Hotel Monteleone!

We’re proud to announce our new partnership with The Hotel Monteleone, which will be the official host hotel and a major sponsor of our Saints and Sinners 9.5 fundraiser. We hope you’ll join us in celebrating Saints and Sinners and the Monteleone’s truly one-of-a-kind literary past. The Monteleone’s famed Carousel Bar was a frequent haunt of Tennessee Williams, where he gleaned material for his work from the conversations going on around him. He spent a two-week period at the hotel in the 50s, and Frank Monteleone picked up the tab as a thank you to Williams, who brought New Orleans and the Hotel Monteleone national attention with A Streetcar Named Desire. The landmark also figures heavily as a symbol of the city in The Rose Tattoo. In our next update to SAS 9.5 we’ll have room rates and reservation link.
