Our take
This hotel suits golfers who prioritize a luxurious city experience with excellent spa facilities over direct course access. It's ideal for couples or friends looking to combine golf with New Orleans' cultural attractions and fine dining. Those seeking a resort-style golf stay with on-site courses and extensive golf amenities might find it less suitable, as its primary appeal lies in its urban sophistication and wellness offerings.
- Book your spa treatments in advance, especially during peak season, to ensure availability after your morning rounds.
- Consider using ride-sharing services for quick transfers to Bayou Oaks, as public transport might be less direct for golf gear.
- Explore the nearby French Quarter in the evenings; it's a short walk and offers a different side of New Orleans.
- If you're planning to play multiple rounds, ensure your tee times allow ample time to return and enjoy the hotel's amenities.
