Traveling with your children is one of the best ways for a family to bond. A family trip gives parents, children, and even grandparents time to explore a new world, experience an adventure, and discover a different place together.
At The Windsor Court in New Orleans, families can choose from spacious suites and connecting accommodations designed to make shared travel feel more comfortable, including Deluxe Suites with 600 square feet of space.
Because while bonding requires togetherness, togetherness does not have to mean surrendering every inch of personal space. A family vacation is not a children’s vacation chaperoned by adults. It is a vacation for the whole family.
Just because your five-year-old has a strict 8 p.m. bedtime does not mean your night has to end five minutes later. If anyone deserves an ice-cold martini at the end of a long day, it’s you.
The Windsor Court Offers Spacious Suites for Family Stays
The best hotels understand that a family can share an experience without sharing every moment, room, or routine.
At The Windsor Court, Deluxe Suites offer 600 square feet of space, while Premium Suites offer 800 square feet and are also available in two-bedroom layouts.
In a standard hotel room, bedtime becomes a group activity. The lights go out. The television turns off. The adults whisper beneath a reading light until they end up dozing off, too. At The Windsor Court, you get a wall, you get a real door, and you get the freedom to love your children deeply, and occasionally from the other side of it. A single door creates privacy without distance. Everyone stays close, but no one has to share the same tiny room at every hour of the day.
For families who need additional space, connecting room options are available at The Windsor Court across select Premium Suites, Premium Rooms, and Guest Rooms. Requests for connecting accommodations are subject to availability, and The Windsor Court team will make every effort to accommodate your family’s preferences at the time of booking.
The Windsor Court offers complimentary cribs and pack-and-plays in limited quantities, while Deluxe Suites, Premium Suites, Two-Bedroom Suites, and select Guest Rooms feature sofa beds to accommodate a variety of sleeping arrangements.
The floor plans at The Windsor Court are impressive, but their real value lies in what they allow your family to do: a child can sleep while you read or work in the living room, and an early riser can watch television without waking everyone else. You can order dinner and dessert, or enjoy an uninterrupted conversation after bedtime.
For larger or multigenerational families, The Windsor Court’s Two-Bedroom Corner Suite expands that idea into 1,250 square feet of residential-style space. It includes two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a living area with a sofa bed, a dining table for four, a wet bar and pantry, and two walk-in closets for all the luggage that somehow multiplies whenever children are involved. A private terrace opens to views of the Mississippi River and the New Orleans skyline.
Children, parents, and grandparents can stay together under one key, with enough room for each generation to retreat as needed.
What Can Families Expect Early in the Morning at The Windsor Court?
If your children wake at six at home, they will likely wake at six on vacation. The difference at The Windsor Court is that one early riser does not have to wake the whole suite.
You can slip into the living room with your child while everyone else sleeps behind a closed door. Turn on the second television, order an early breakfast through 24-hour In-Room Dining, or head downstairs to the lobby for fruit and coffee at Last Sunday Coffee Bar, open daily from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The Windsor Court’s rooftop pool and Fitness Center also open at 6 a.m. Children ages 16 and younger are welcome at the rooftop pool when accompanied by an adult with valid pool access.
Sometimes, all you need is an early swim with a child who was never going back to sleep anyway. Other times, the luxury is returning to the suite an hour later to find everyone else still resting.
Either way, your family can begin the day at The Windsor Court without forcing everyone onto the same schedule.
How Does The Windsor Court’s Club Level Make Family Travel Easier?
For parents, some of the best vacation amenities are the ones that take a decision off your plate. Choosing Club Level accommodations at The Windsor Court gives your family access to a private lounge where breakfast, snacks, drinks, and attentive service are close at hand throughout the day.
Located on the hotel’s top four floors, Club Level Rooms and Suites offer skyline views and exclusive access to the Club Lounge. The lounge features a dedicated concierge, a private full-service bar, Wi-Fi, large-screen televisions, and outdoor terraces.
Breakfast is served daily from 6:30 to 10:30 a.m., with service extended until 11 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Afternoon tea and light snacks are available from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres are served from 5 to 8 p.m., followed by cordials and dessert from 8 to 9 p.m.
Parents can enjoy a leisurely breakfast while children settle in before the next adventure. No need to plan another outing every time someone gets hungry, search for a snack between activities, or make one more decision at the end of a full day. The dedicated concierge can also help your family navigate plans, reservations, and inevitable schedule changes.
Sometimes, the luxury is simply knowing there’s one less thing to figure out.
How Does The Windsor Court’s Location Make Exploring New Orleans Easier for Families?
The Windsor Court sits just one block from the French Quarter and the Mississippi River, close to the city’s music, food, history, and energy.
That proximity does not come at the expense of calm. Set apart from the French Quarter’s busiest streets, The Windsor Court welcomes guests through a private, walled courtyard. Vine-covered walls center on a prominent bronze statue of Saint George, the patron saint of England, standing guard at the entrance.
Mature trees, manicured flower beds, and seasonal plantings frame the open-air driveway and fountain, creating a quiet sense of arrival and giving families a feeling of seclusion and security between the energy of the city and the place they return to at the end of the day.
Instead of the day becoming one exhausting stretch from breakfast to bedtime, you can explore the city in the morning, return to The Windsor Court to retrieve something you forgot, take a quick nap, change your shoes, and head out again when everyone is ready.
Every parent knows that a short walk back to The Windsor Court can be the difference between a pleasant afternoon and a complete collapse on the sidewalk. And when one child needs to rest, the rest of your family can keep going.
In a traditional hotel room, nap time often means drawn curtains, whispered conversations, and an hour spent trying not to move. In a Windsor Court suite, a nap is simply a nap.
Twice-daily housekeeping makes that afternoon reset even sweeter. Your child gets a nap, your bed gets made again, and you get to leave the straightening up to someone else. A family vacation should also be a vacation from picking up after everyone.
At The Windsor Court, the rhythm of the day does not hinge on one person’s need to rest. It simply adjusts, allowing everyone else to continue on their own terms.
What Dining Options Does The Windsor Court Offer Families With Children?
Family-friendly luxury at The Windsor Court does not ask you to choose between elegance and ease. Children, too, deserve beautiful experiences where they feel they belong.
On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at The Windsor Court, children are welcome to afternoon tea in Le Salon with a place of their own at the table. Parents, children, and grandparents can slow down together over tea and beautifully prepared treats while sharing one of The Windsor Court’s most enduring traditions.
For children, the experience can feel delightfully grown-up. For parents and grandparents, it offers an opportunity to introduce a new generation to the pleasures of ceremony, conversation, and taking one’s time.
That welcome extends to The Grill Room at The Windsor Court, where your family can gather for modern American cuisine with a New Orleans influence. The Grill Room serves breakfast Monday through Friday from 7 to 10:30 a.m., lunch Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., and dinner Wednesday through Sunday from 5:30 to 10 p.m. On Saturdays and Sundays, Jazz Brunch is served from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., with live jazz from the Christopher Kohl Trio from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Grill Room offers a children’s menu and can adapt select dishes to make them more approachable for younger guests. An early dinner can accommodate your child’s bedtime without making the meal feel like a compromise.
At The Windsor Court, children also have their own options through In-Room Dining, with familiar favorites like crispy chicken tenders and fries, grilled cheese, and cheese pizza. Plenty of options are available, even for the pickiest eaters.
When parents want an evening to themselves, The Windsor Court concierge maintains a referral list of five dependable, licensed, and insured third-party babysitting providers, all of whom have previously cared for Windsor Court guests.
The point is not to build the entire experience around children. It is to make space for them within experiences the whole family can enjoy.
How Do Windsor Court Suites Give Parents Privacy After Bedtime?
After a day of swimming, exploring, sharing an early dinner, and negotiating over one final dessert, bedtime eventually arrives. The children go into the bedroom. The lights dim, the door closes, and the adults’ evening begins.
At The Windsor Court, parents can order a late dinner or midnight snack through 24-hour In-Room Dining. Depending on the accommodation, the evening might continue over a drink at the wet bar, a movie on the second television, or a conversation on the terrace.
There is no reason to hide in the bathroom with a glass of wine and the lowest possible screen brightness. This is a vacation for everyone.
Residential comfort at The Windsor Court is not simply a matter of generous dimensions, beautiful finishes, or an impressive view. It is an understanding that the people sharing a reservation may not share the same bedtime, appetite, or definition of relaxation.
The Windsor Court Gives Every Family Member Room to Enjoy Their Stay
The best hotels know how to give everyone room to breathe. The Windsor Court welcomes families to a world of beauty, tradition, and thoughtful hospitality, where one family member’s needs never have to come at the expense of someone else’s good time.
Luxury is not always about having more. Sometimes, it is about having exactly what you need at the right moment: an early cup of coffee, a quiet place to nap, dinner delivered after bedtime, or a living room where the evening can continue.
Sometimes, the greatest luxury of all is simply a door that closes.
