See all photos →

Location: Garden District character vs downtown riverfront access

The Pontchartrain Hotel – Location

The Pontchartrain sits on St. Charles Avenue in the Garden District with a streetcar stop directly in front.

  • Steps from the St. Charles streetcar line for easy access to the French Quarter and CBD.
  • Walking distance to Magazine Street boutiques and Lafayette Cemetery.
  • About a 15–20 minute streetcar ride to the French Quarter; roughly 15 minutes on foot to some uptown landmarks.

Pick The Pontchartrain for a quieter, Uptown-adjacent base with direct streetcar access to downtown.

The Windsor Court – Location

The Windsor Court sits close to Canal Street and the Mississippi River, placing you near downtown attractions and the French Quarter edge.

  • Steps from Canal Street and within a short walk of Bourbon Street, Riverwalk Outlets and the Audubon Aquarium.
  • Centrally located for convention center and CBD access.
  • Preferred airport access: Louis Armstrong MSY about 16 miles away.

Pick The Windsor Court for central, riverfront-adjacent access to downtown New Orleans and tourist sites.

Rooms: intimate historic rooms vs larger five-star guestrooms

The Pontchartrain Hotel – Rooms

The Pontchartrain has 106 rooms and suites that emphasize period character and boutique scale.

  • Room types include Standard Room, Deluxe Room, and several Superior Suite configurations including family suites.
  • Guestrooms include private in-room bars; room service is not offered.
  • Free high-speed Wi‑Fi and destination-amenity perks are included with the amenity fee.

Expect smaller, design-forward rooms with historic character and private bars rather than large modern suites or 24-hour room service.

The Windsor Court – Rooms

The Windsor Court offers 314 guestrooms with traditionally fitted five-star finishes and larger room options.

  • Room types include Classic Guest Room Queen/Queen, Deluxe Suite King and multiple Club and Premium Suite options.
  • Guestrooms include conveniences such as minibars, espresso makers and 42-inch Smart TVs; Frette Italian sheets are noted.
  • Club-level and accessible room types are available.

Expect a broad range of larger, service-oriented rooms and suites with standard five-star amenities.

Dining & drinks: multiple Pontchartrain venues vs a single signature Grill Room and bars

The Pontchartrain Hotel – Dining & drinks

The Pontchartrain centers its food and drink on four distinct in-house venues that fuel its social life.

  • Jack Rose serves dinner and weekend brunch with Italian/French/Spanish-influenced dishes.
  • Bayou Bar is a tavern-style bar with a live jazz program (Tue–Sat) and casual Creole fare.
  • Hot Tin is a rooftop craft-cocktail bar (21+), while Silver Whistle Café serves breakfast daily.

Choose The Pontchartrain for a variety of on-site dining and nightlife options concentrated within one boutique property.

The Windsor Court – Dining & drinks

The Windsor Court provides a classic hotel dining experience anchored by The Grill Room plus multiple lounges and 24-hour room service.

  • The Grill Room offers American cuisine with garden views and breakfast available for a surcharge.
  • Two bars/lounges and a poolside bar cover daytime and evening drinks.
  • 24-hour room service and a coffee shop/café add convenience for guests.

Choose The Windsor Court for traditional, full-service hotel dining and late-night room service options.

Pools & signature amenity: rooftop views vs outdoor pool and spa

The Pontchartrain Hotel – Pools & signature amenity

The Pontchartrain does not have an on-site pool; instead it emphasizes rooftop views and nearby gym access.

  • No on-site swimming pool — an important point if you expect pool time.
  • Hot Tin rooftop bar provides 270-degree skyline and river views for evening drinks.
  • Daily access to Franco’s Gym on Magazine Street is included with the amenity fee.

If a pool is important, The Pontchartrain is not the right choice; it trades pool amenities for rooftop views and boutique atmosphere.

The Windsor Court – Pools & signature amenity

The Windsor Court includes an outdoor pool and poolside bar as part of its full-service offering.

  • One outdoor pool with poolside bar and pool umbrellas; cabanas may be available for a surcharge.
  • Spa treatments are available by reservation; massages and treatment rooms are listed.
  • Fitness facilities are on-site for guests.

The Windsor Court is the better pick if you want an on-site pool and a dedicated spa.

Wellness & nightlife: local partnerships vs in-house spa and bigger bars

The Pontchartrain Hotel – Wellness & nightlife

The Pontchartrain leans on neighborhood partnerships for wellness and offers a nightlife-focused program on site.

  • No hotel gym or spa; the amenity fee includes daily access to nearby Franco’s Gym.
  • Bayou Bar features live jazz and a vibrant local-music scene several nights a week.
  • Hot Tin rooftop is an adults-only late-night bar with city and river views.

The Pontchartrain is for guests who want local-flavored nightlife and don't need an on-site spa or gym.

The Windsor Court – Wellness & nightlife

The Windsor Court provides on-site wellness and quieter, formal evening options.

  • Full-service spa with massage offerings; reservations required.
  • On-site fitness center and business center open 24 hours.
  • Two lounges and quieter dining at The Grill Room make for a more formal evening than a rooftop bar scene.

The Windsor Court is better if you want on-site spa services and quieter, conventional hotel nightlife.
