"The old-school elegance of Hotel Monteleone's architecturally elaborate entrance leaves no doubt as to the stature of this fine property, which dates back to the 1880s. There’s a sophistication to the sculpted marble—a grandeur that continues into the busy lobby and public spaces. We booked a functional, pleasant-enough room with period touches like sweeping curtains and chandeliers. The palette features yellows and browns in regal-looking stripes, and the luxurious bed was a welcome bonus." - Paul Oswell
