Windsor Court Hotel

While not quite as luxurious as The Roosevelt, the full-service Windsor Court Hotel offers a comfortable and elegant experience, though it could use an update.

• Daily afternoon English Tea service
• Club Level Rooms have views of the Mississippi River
• The boutique in-house spa

Located just outside of the French Quarter in the Central Business District, the Windsor Court Hotel is a classic, large New Orleans property. The décor of the 316 guestrooms and suites, though a bit dated, reflects the hotel’s traditionally English and French style with heavy drapes, traditional furnishings and antique photographs of the Mississippi River. The large common areas, including the grand hotel lobby where English tea is served daily, and the Polo Club Lounge that features jazz bands many nights, create a buzzing atmosphere.

The staff is very attentive and gracious, and the multitude of amenities, including a pool and connecting room options make it perfect for families. While not quite as luxurious as The Roosevelt, the Windsor Court Hotel offers a centrally located, comfortable and full-service experience. Club level rooms on the top four floors offer panoramic views of the city and the Mississippi River along with extra amenities and a lounge.

Best for older couples looking for a traditional aesthetic or families who want a large and comfortable hotel in a quieter location than the French Quarter.
