Exciting things are blooming.
Spring in New Orleans means the azaleas are out, the smell of jasmine fills the air, and the weather is perfect for dining outside, catching a show, and, of course, festing and getting married! The two things New Orleans is simply perfect for.
Spring at the Castle
Spring in New Orleans is its own thing. The weather is warm but not yet brutal, the city is fully awake, and there's something going on almost every weekend from March through May. It's our favorite season on the property: the courtyard is in full bloom, the pool is perfectly warm, and the evenings are long enough to actually enjoy them.
For groups, there is genuinely no better time to be here.
Festival season
Jazz Fest. French Quarter Fest. Hogs For the Cause. Wednesdays on the Square. Crawfest.
Spring in New Orleans runs on a festival calendar, and CastleDay puts you close to all of it without the chaos of staying in the Quarter. You can be at the Fair Grounds in under 15 minutes, back at the pool by late afternoon, and at dinner with a reservation by 7.
That's the move.

Looking ahead
Summer is nearly completely booked, but for those flexible enough, consider enjoying a few days in paradise for a fraction of the price by booking during the week.
The insider move: weekends book fast, but midweek stays still have solid availability and better pricing. If your group has flexibility, Tuesday through Thursday is how you get the full experience without the full price.
Summer 2026
The cold plunge
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.
Our summer guests end up spending the most time on the property, which is exactly how it was designed to be used. 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 or more 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.
Direct booking
A quick reminder that you will always get the lowest rate by booking directly with us; guests often save hundreds per stay.
Suggestions and feedback
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,
