In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans has struggled to regain its previous glory. The start of that renewal has been to revitalize the business district and historic French Quarter.
With that in mind, if you are looking to visit New Orleans, you can’t go wrong by staying at the Windsor Court Hotel. With a magnificent view of the city and Mississippi River, it is the perfect place to experience the food, jazz, history, architecture and vibrant life of a grand city.
This Four Star/Four Diamond hotel is located a short walk from the French Quarter – in the heart of the business district. It is perfect for business, pleasure or a mixture of both.
The hotel was developed by New Orleans businessman James “Jimmy” Coleman Jr. in 1984 and sold to Orient Express Hotels Ltd. in 1991. In October of 2009, the hotel returned to local ownership.
Rooms range from 600 to over 2000 square feet. Each is luxurious and complete with the most modern comforts.
The hotel has an excellent restaurant – the Grill Room – and the Polo Club Lounge features great jazz.
What to do when at the Windsor? The options are endless. This is a perfect base to explore the rich history of New Orleans.
Within walking distance you’ll find exceptional shopping, top quality music venues (this is, after all, the birthplace of jazz), historic walking tours, restaurants and more. The mighty Mississippi offers spectacular boat tours. Or travel the Old River Road and tour the antebellum and Creole plantations of the South.
The Windsor Court is the place to stay if you are visiting New Orleans. You won’t find a more friendly staff or a more elegant experience.
