Anglophile society quarters

The Windsor Court has a distinctly British feel that matches New Orleans’ old-world appeal, if not its colorful sensuousness.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Preservation Hall and French Quarter jazz clubs lie nearby, while the Arts/Warehouse District offers contemporary galleries just blocks away.
The rooms
Most accommodations are spacious suites with Italian marble baths and dressing rooms. Large bay windows look out toward the Mississippi River.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A 65-foot heated saltwater pool stretches across the fourth-floor terrace, lined with private cabanas and skyline views.
The spa and gym
The spa has marble steam rooms and an infrared sauna, and the fitness center overlooks the pool deck.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
The Grill Room hosts weekend jazz brunches, and The Polo Club pours classic Sazeracs amid dark wood paneling.
Rich furnishings resemble Downton Abbey set pieces, and walking through lounge areas feel like stepping into a traditional British club…
How it began
Local Anglophile James Coleman built the hotel for the 1984 World's Fair, modelling it after London's Claridge's.
