We are in the heart of winter right now, which looks a little different here than the rest of the country. We’re seeing temps in the 50s-70s with cooler nights.

At CastleDay, we keep the vibe lush and tropical year-round. It's nice to wake up early and see the steam rise off the heated pool against the palm trees when the air is crisp. It’s a really specific atmosphere that you only get from December thru February.

For those finalizing travel plans, we still have select availability for the Sugar Bowl. We are just a short drive to the Superdome—close enough to the action, but removed enough to properly recharge.  It’s a great place to stay for the game.

 We are thrilled to announce that the Castleday Shop is officially live.

We’ve launched an online concept store featuring a selection of our own designs—including prints of the artwork found in our spaces and some fun apparel. While we are starting with the essentials, we will be adding more of our favorite things to the collection over time.

One of the best parts of living in New Orleans is that while January and February are dark and cold for most of the country, here, it is Mardi Gras season.

It's not just a single Tuesday; the season spans nearly two months of parades, parties, and celebrations.

Staying at Castleday puts you in a great spot for the season. We are just a very short ride over to the Marigny for our favorite neighborhood walking parades like Chewbacchus and Krewe du Vieux, which are intimate, satirical, and full of local character. And, of course, the St. Ann’s Parade on Mardi Gras morning remains one of the best moments of the year in New Orleans.

Spring is shaping up to be our busiest season yet. With festivals and crawfish boils on the horizon, our weekends are nearly sold out.



The Insider Move: We still have excellent availability and discounted pricing for mid-week stays. It’s a great opportunity to experience the city—enjoying the festival energy by day and securing tables at top-tier spots for a fraction of the price.

We are already starting to get booked for our summer season.

We love summer at Castleday. It’s when New Orleans is at its most authentic self: the long days, the humidity, and the classic afternoon thunderstorms.

We find that our summer guests end up spending the most time on the property, which is exactly how it was designed to be used. While we love the energy of spring, summer gives you the time to really settle in and enjoy the amenities like hanging by the pool, using the outdoor showers, and watching TV under the fans.

The city also slows down. If you're coming with a large group, summer is the time to visit. You can actually get a reservation for 12+ people at the best restaurants without a hassle.

We are also really excited to be adding a major wellness upgrade: Cold Plunges! Arriving this summer and available for rent during your stay, they offer the ultimate remedy to the New Orleans heat.

A quick reminder that you will always get the lowest rate by booking directly with us—guests often save $500+ per stay by booking directly with us.

As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any suggestions, feedback, or questions. We love hearing from you and are always looking for ways to make Castleday even better.

Best,

Sam
