The Pool at The Windsor Court

"The outstanding rooftop pool is one of several superb places for smart beverages here; along with the cool Cocktail Bar and chichi Polo Club are also on that list"

"—Pableaux Johnson View the entire 2011 Gold List of the world's best places to stay › Also appeared in the Gold List in 2010, 2009, 2008 Amenities: Pool"

"With its large heated rooftop pool, elegant style and traditional ideas about Southern hospitality, it’s the only hotel in Louisiana to earn both a four-star rating from Mobil and a four-diamond rating from AAA"

"A spacious gym with cardio machines and weight training equipment overlooks the pool, and even offers private fitness classes and guided group runs through the city"

"In 2012, the 23-story landmark hotel underwent a $22 million restoration of all its 316 guest rooms and suites and Club Level lounge; a reconceptualization of the celebrated Le Salon; a revitalization of The Grill Room, The Polo Club Lounge, the pool area and meetings spaces; and the addition of the aptly titled Cocktail Bar and the Spa at Windsor"

"A "grand hotel for a grand city", this CBD "darling" offers "over-the-top" "old-world elegance", from the "palatial" public spaces to the bar where "there always seems to be great music playing" to the generally "amazing" service; recently renovated rooms and suites are "fabulous", with marble baths and European-style furnishings, and with a spa, rooftop pool and acclaimed on-site eats, it's an "expensive" but "first-class" stay"

"This full-service hotel also includes a pool, sun deck, and business and fitness centers"

"Other notable upgrades include the lobby cocktail bar—a more feminine alternative to the leather-clad Polo Lounge, and an outdoor pool"

"The small, well-equipped health club on the fourth floor provides high-tech machinery and a sauna, while landscaped terraces envelop a lovely outdoor lap pool with colorful tile accents and an arbor-shaded whirlpool"
