The BIg Easy Hotel Monteleone was a favorite of many Southern authors. References to the Hotel Monteleone and its Carousel Bar are included in Tennessee Williams' The Rose Tattoo and Orpheus Descending, Rebecca Wells' Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood and Little Altars Everywhere, Stephen Ambrose's Band of Brothers, Richard Ford's A Piece of My Heart, Eudora Welty's A Curtain of Green, Gerald Clarke's Capote: A Biography; Erle Stanley Gardner's Owls Don't Blink (written under the pen name A.A. Fair), Ernest Hemingway's "Night Before Battle" (published in The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway), and Harry Stephen Keeler's The Voice of the Seven Sparrows. Hemingway, Williams, and William Faulkner always stayed at Hotel Monteleone while staying in New Orleans. During an appearance on The Tonight Show, Truman Capote once claimed that he was born in Hotel Monteleone. (He wasn't; his mother lived at the hotel during her pregnancy, but she safely made it to the hospital in time for Truman's birth). Anne Rice, Stephen Ambrose and John Grisham have also stayed at the hotel. In June 1999 the hotel was designated an official literary landmark by the Friends of the Library Association. The Plaza Hotel and Algonquin Hotel in New York City are the only other hotels in the United States that share this honor (Wikipedia) Easy, in The Big Easy!!
