A Tropical Escape

Heated Saltwater Pool

Pool Hours: 11 AM to 9 PM Daily
Swim-Up Bar: 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday - Saturday

Tucked beneath swaying palms and bathed in soft Southern light, our pool is one of the largest in New Orleans. With a beach-style entry, in-water loungers, and playful fountains, it brings a touch of the tropics to the heart of the Garden District. Enjoy lunch without leaving your chair, or head to New Orleans' first and only swim-up bar for a cocktail. Whether you’re in the shade, in the water, or just taking in the neighborhood views, this is where your day slows down.
