ROOMS WITH A VIEW What’s better than a stay at one of Louisiana’s swanky hotels, cozy cabins, historic B&Bs or off-the-beaten-path properties? Checking in to a room with an epically awesome view! In Louisiana, we believe where you stay should be more than just a place to rest your head. All around the state, you’ll find unique accommodations with breathtaking views – either literal ones or views back in time. With 180-degree skyline and river views, you can do no better than the Margaritaville Resort Casino in Bossier City. Also topping the Shreveport-Bossier skyline is the 24-story Horseshoe Hotel & Casino with its luxury tower suites. Dreaming of a white picket fence and charming gardens? On the other side of the top of the state you’ll find the John Thomas Bed and Breakfast. Built in 1904 in Monroe’s Historic Cotton Port, the property features three suites and a carriage house. On a picturesque bayou in Cheneyville, surrounded by sugar cane fields and live oaks, sits Loyd Hall Plantation. The views are great but, if you’re lucky, you won’t see the ghost of the double agent who was hung here on the lawn during the Civil War. Nestled in the woods in Basile is Crying Eagle Lodge, a wilderness resort where deer and your soul can run free. When you’re not out fishing, swimming, kayaking, playing tennis, hiking, mountain biking or going on a wildlife tour, you can relax in luxury. In New Orleans, the historic Hotel Monteleone offers a view of the Vieux. (Royal Street, to be exact.) Check into a Literary Suite, each one named for one of the hotel’s famous guests like Truman Capote, William Faulkner, Tennessee Williams and Ernest Hemingway. Before you settle down for the night, go for a ride on the revolving Carousel Bar. And quite possibly one of the most stunning views in all of Louisiana awaits at the Four Seasons Hotel overlooking the Mississippi River and Canal Street.
