The finest hotel in New Orleans. The art collection is museum-quality. The Grill Room has never had a bad night.
The Windsor Court Hotel has occupied its position on Gravier Street in the Central Business District since 1984 and has maintained a standard of luxury that the city's other hotels have measured themselves against for four decades. The hotel's collection of 17th and 18th century British portraits, its Waterford crystal chandeliers, and the Grill Room dining room — which has held its AAA Four Diamond rating continuously since the hotel opened — constitute the most coherent luxury proposition in Louisiana.
The 316 rooms are configured predominantly as suites — 58% of the inventory is suite-level accommodation — which gives the Windsor Court an average room size well above the New Orleans market. The plunge pool suites on the upper floors, with their private outdoor spaces and views of the Mississippi River, are the finest hotel rooms in the city. The Le Salon afternoon tea, served in the hotel's ballroom twice daily, is a New Orleans institution in itself.
The Grill Room's wine list, with over 900 selections, is the most serious cellar in New Orleans, and the kitchen's commitment to Louisiana ingredients — Gulf seafood, Creole tomatoes, Plaquemines Parish citrus — is reflected in a menu that changes with the season rather than the management. The pool courtyard is the city's most civilised outdoor hotel space.
The Windsor Court anniversary programme — private Grill Room dinner with sommelier pairing, suite floral arrangement, and Le Salon afternoon tea on arrival — is the most complete romantic package in New Orleans. The hotel's combination of European luxury standards and Louisiana material culture makes it the most appropriate anniversary hotel in the Deep South. See all anniversary hotels →
The Windsor Court's CBD location, its meeting infrastructure, and the Grill Room's private dining capacity make it the natural choice for New Orleans business entertainment. The hotel's relationships with the city's political and business establishment — maintained over four decades — give the concierge team access that newer properties cannot replicate.
