The hype
Universally praised for service that makes you feel like royalty, but the 'classic' decor is polarizing.
Windsor Court Hotel
$390-600+/ noapte
Rezervă dacă You want the closest thing to a British royal residence in the American South, complete with high tea and a $10 million art collection.
De ce o iubesc oamenii
- The 'Club Level' is actually worth the splurge for the skyline views and four daily food presentations
- Heated rooftop saltwater pool that stays open year-round (a rarity in NOLA)
- It's an oasis of silence just two blocks from the chaos of the French Quarter
Privire rapidă: It feels a bit like staying at your wealthy great-aunt's English manor—impeccable service and stunning art, but the vibe is definitely 'old money' rather than 'modern cool'.
Evaluat de @Jetsetwith.Gi: I checked into the Windsor Court for a quiet weekend and was blown away by the suite. The marble bath was a total dream, and having a balcony to watch the river was the perfect recharge. It feels miles away from the chaos but is right next door.

Reality check
The 'heated' pool can still feel chilly during actual winter snaps, despite the marketing.
- You appreciate old-school hospitality where staff learn your name immediately
- You want to be near the French Quarter but absolutely refuse to sleep inside it
- You are traveling with a dog (the pet program is legendary)
Curățenie și Întreținere

- Housekeeping: Twice-daily service including turndown. Consistently praised as 'immaculate'.
- Bathroom hygiene: Italian marble bathrooms are kept spotless; very few reports of mold or grime.
- Maintenance: Renovated in 2018/2022, so fixtures are generally in top shape, though some guests find the style 'dated' even if it's clean.
- Linens & towels: Frette Italian sheets and plush towels. High quality.
- Odors & scents: Signature 'fresh rose' scent in the lobby; rooms are generally neutral and fresh.

“I would love a high-floor room away from the elevators. If available, a river view would be wonderful, but priority is quiet.”
Întrebări frecvente și sfaturi ascunse
Tot ceea ce vrei de fapt să știi înainte de a rezerva.
Is the pool actually heated?
Yes, it's a saltwater pool heated year-round, but reviews suggest it struggles to keep up when temps drop below 50°F.
How far is Bourbon Street?
Ideally located: it's a 5-10 minute walk, meaning you can easily visit the chaos but you don't have to sleep in it.
Is the Club Level worth the extra cost?
Yes. For the price of a few cocktails and breakfast elsewhere, you get almost unlimited food and drink presentations throughout the day.
Can I bring my dog?
Absolutely. It's one of the most pet-friendly hotels in the city, though there is a non-refundable $150 fee.
Is there a resort fee?
No specific 'resort fee' was found in current searches, unlike many competitors, but always double-check at booking.
Does the room have a coffee maker?
Suites have Nespresso machines; standard rooms typically have high-end Keurig-style brewers.
