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]
