I was lucky enough to celebrate Mardi Gras in Lake Charles, Louisiana this year as part of a media trip, and we stayed at what has to be one of the best hotels in Lake Charles — L’Auberge Casino Resort. It has everything one could possibly want and more.
What looks like a castle on the outside is modern rustic on the inside… Texas Hill Country, to be exact. Big stone fireplaces with cozy lounge seating accent the rich, warm wood furnishings.
L’Auberge has 1000 rooms, including luxury suites and private villas. Since I’m hardly a high-roller, I enjoyed a standard guest room, which was absolutely lovely with an ultra plush and comfy pillow-top bed. Dreamy!
Hungry? There are multiple dining options at L’Auberge, including Favorites Southern Kitchen where I savored this delightful breakfast parfait.
If you love fine dining, try Ember Grille & Wine Bar where the chef is doing amazing things with food and flavor.
The newest addition to the L’Auberge family is The L-Bar, where I sipped a specialty cocktail called “Bite Your Tongue”. Ask the bartender about the rosemary cocktail too… it smells heavenly!
And for those in-between meal must-haves, the 24-hour Modern Pantry is a life-saver. Try the gelato!
Forget something at home or feel like shopping? L’Auberge has you covered there too with a nice selection of boutiques and beyond.
Shops and restaurants line the perimeter of the casino, so guests can always find what they need.
Oh, and did I mention there’s an amazing spa? And pool and lazy river? My room had a view of everything and although I never made it down there, it certainly looked incredible!
I know I’m forgetting some key elements to the property, like the golf course and the casino. I never visited either one, and that’s the thing… there’s so much to do in the resort, you may or may not do everything. I know that you’ll enjoy impeccable service and true southern hospitality at L’Auberge — it’s an amazing place!

I lived in Louisiana back in 1991, and visited Lake Charles. This hotel looks amazing inside and out!
That hotel was fantastic looking a modern castle is right. The food looks to be special as well. I could go just for the shops and the pool.

The pool and lazy river of the L’Auberge Casino and Resort is calling my name! I would stay there from sun up to sun down, just enjoying the nice sunny weather. My husband can go ahead and stay in the casino all he wants. I will be by the pool, with a refreshing drink in hand. 🙂
Stunning! Makes me want to go to Mardi Gras one year!
