What is the history of the property and its origin story?
The Windsor Court was developed by New Orleans businessman, Oxford Graduate, and self-proclaimed anglophile James “Jimmy” Coleman, Jr. in 1984 in anticipation of The World’s Fair coming to New Orleans. In 1998, we were honored with the title of Best Hotel in the World and have dedicated our evolution to maintaining this status.
The Windsor Court is one of a kind. Our prime location offers a tranquil escape the moment you enter our courtyard, yet it's just a stone's throw from the vibrant French Quarter. Within our 80% suite hotel, guests are greeted with the most spacious rooms per capita in the City. Beyond city adventures, visitors can immerse themselves in our hotel's impressive museum-quality art collection, valued at nearly $12 million, a hidden gem awaiting their exploration.

Just a block’s stroll away is high-end shopping at Canal Place, which is next to the newly renovated Aquarium. The hotel is minutes away from the historic French Quarter and Bourbon Street. The hotel is surrounded by both new and classic restaurants. The options for a fun day or night are endless and all within walking distance.
Why should planners include this property in their RFP?
Guests of The Windsor Court experience personalized luxury service in a relaxed, comfortable environment. The charm and long standing traditions of New Orleans are reflected in every corner of the hotel, from the award winning culinary options, to the guest room accommodations, event spaces and of course, our memorable team members.
How easy is it for guests to get to your property? Why is accessibility so key to a group's success at the hotel?
The newly renovated New Orleans International Airport is only 30 minutes from Downtown New Orleans. Once guests arrive to the hotel, the city's attractions are within walking distance, including upscale shopping, world renowned dining, nightlife, historic sites and museums. Accessibility is key to a group's success, as minimal travel allows attendees time to focus on successfully achieving the goals of the meeting.
What promotions is the hotel offering to attract more groups to the property?
Currently, the hotel is offering a Summer Promotion including discounted guest room rates and incentives, which provide a huge cost savings.
As the meetings/events community and landscape evolves, how do you expect the property to grow over the next several years?
The hotel will continue to grow, not only in maintaining and improving the features of the property but also investing in additional sustainability practices and focusing on meeting the needs of the evolving travel industry.
