We present high spatial resolution near-infrared H-band (1.65 microns)images, taken with ISAAC on UT1 of ESO VLT, of three radio-loud quasars at z =1.5, as a pilot study for imaging of a larger sample of radio-loud andradio-quiet quasars in the redshift range 1 < z < 2. We are able to clearlydetect the host galaxy in two quasars (PKS 0000-177 and PKS 0348-120) andmarginally in the third (PKS 0402-362). The host galaxies appear compact(average bulge scale-length R(e) = 4 kpc) and luminous (average M(H) =-27.6+-0.1). They are 2.5 mag more luminous than the typical galaxy luminosity(M*(H) = -25.0+-0.2), and are comparable to the hosts of low redshiftradio-loud quasars (M(H) = -26), taking into account passive stellar evolution.Their luminosities are also similar to those of high redshift radio galaxies.All three quasars have at least one close companion galaxy at a projecteddistance < 50 kpc from the quasar, assuming they are at the same redshift.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures.
