Welcome to Cajun & Creole Country, Louisiana!

Located in the heart of Cajun Country in the historic City of Opelousas, third oldest city in Louisiana, our contemporary hotel is surrounded by the beauty and bounty of Southern Louisiana - lush landscapes, historic architecture and plantations, and wonderful Cajun culture - from Zydeco music to jambalaya. Long known as the birthplace of Zydeco music, Opelousas is the “Zydeco Capital of the World.”

Heart of Opelousas. We are conveniently located just one mile from the exciting Evangeline Downs Racetrack and Casino, 2 miles from the Opelousas Historic District, and under 20 miles from Downtown Lafayette and Lafayette Regional Airport. Home of the annual Zydeco and Spice Festivals, the charming town of Opelousas offers many cultural attractions, fun activities, museums, tours, golf courses, and Cajun restaurants for traveling families.

Tour Opelousas. Tour our quaint, old city and Historic District, lined with historic museums, buildings and architecture that interpret the colorful history of Opelousas, once the Confederate Louisiana Capital. Dance to infectious music at one of our Zydeco or Cajun clubs or escape into the past at Chretien Point Plantation. Shop in local antique markets or at Tony Chachere’s Creole Foods, just 2 miles away. Join us every Labor Day Weekend for the Original Southwest Louisiana Zydeco Music Festival and celebrate the spirit of Louisiana through Creole music and culture.

Capture the Cajun Culture. Exlore Acadiana, or Cajun Country, the 22-parish Cajun heartland of Southern Louisiana, from west of New Orleans to the Texas border along the Gulf of Mexico - the soul of Cajun/Creole culture, cuisine, music, and history. You’ll be captivated by our Cajun culture - from Zydeco rhythms to the Cajun communities along Zydeco-Cajun Prairie Scenic Byway, where music, dance, and food spice up life.  [Top]
