Overview

Recent $15 million renovation, including remodeled rooms

Recent guests note pricey overnight parking fees

The Windsor Court Hotel, which recently underwent a $15 million renovation, is beloved by New Orleans travelers for a variety of reasons. There's the view of the Mississippi River as seen from the higher-up balconies or bay windows, and the kind and courteous staff members that go above and beyond in customer service, according to visitors. That's not to mention the delicious and refined Southern eats served in The Grill Room. Other nice features include Polo Club Lounge's live contemporary jazz performances five nights a week, or the housekeeping staff's twice-daily room cleaning. Rooms come equipped with a blend of English and French decor, Italian marble baths, minibars and complimentary Wi-Fi access. You'll also find a full-service spa, fitness center and rooftop pool at this NOLA favorite. Windsor Court is located on Gravier Street, within walking distance of some of the city's top sites like the National World War II Museum. What's more, members of the iPrefer rewards program can earn or use points for staying here.

It may be four blocks from the French Quarter, but Windsor Court feels like it could just as easily be in Yorkshire: It is the picture of old-world English elegance.

There's a kind of hush at this ultra-fine hotel, for decades the center of New Orleans high society. ... A massive recent overhaul refreshed all the fabrics and finery; the city's indisputably best hotel spa was added; service has also improved.
