The Windsor Court is a luxury hotel in the Central Business District of New Orleans, Louisiana. The building rises 253 feet (77 m). It contains 23 floors, and was completed in 1984. In 2011, Travel + Leisure magazine ranked The Windsor Court as the 6th Best Large City Hotel in the United States and Canada. The Windsor Court currently stands as the 37th-tallest building in the city, and the 10th-tallest hotel. The building is an example of modern architecture. [1] [2]
The building houses a 4-star hotel with 314 guest rooms and features an extensive collection of European art and antiques valued at more than $12 million. [3] [4]
The hotel was one of the least damaged buildings of New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina made impact, suffering only minimal damage and escaping floodwaters. [5] The damage included broken windows in the upper floors and minor flooding from rain that fell inside as a result of the broken windows. [6] [7]
The hotel opened in 1984 by Morris Architects. In 2009 an investment team purchased the hotel, led by The Berger Company and Crow Holdings. [4] In 2011-2012 the hotel underwent a renovation. It was a $22 million project that updated the guestrooms and the lounge, as well as revitalized the pool area, and added The Windsor Court Spa. In 2018 the hotel underwent another renovation, worth $15 million that included the addition of a Poolside Bar, and the renovation of all the hotel's rooms. [8]
The hotel has several dining establishments, including The Grill Room - which is the only AAA Four-Diamond [9] and Forbes Five-Star [10] rated restaurant in the city. The hotel's second-floor The Polo Club is also a popular location for live jazz music and is known for its artwork collection. In 2010, a 2x Super Bowl Champion, a British rockstar, and a maritime attorney had dinner with each other here. Afternoon tea is served on weekends in Le Salon.
