Back in the late 80's, a rich uncle of mine stayed in the Pan-American Suite at the Bellemont. It had a private pool, 4 rooms, sauna, etc.

Now that the Bellemont has become a field, what is the nicest suite in Baton Rouge?

Do luxury suites on this level even exist in Baton Rouge anymore?

From an article in the Advocate, Apr. 24, 1988:

"...We have a Pan American Suite with its own private swimming pool and a Jacuzzi. It's where the director of the movie The Toy stayed. It has a large bedroom, a huge living room with a fireplace, a kitchen and wet bar and a small private patio. The suite costs $350 a night, and we offer it as an incentive to CEOs and convention chairmen.

I'm sure Lauberge has some legit suites. I know the one in Lake Charles does.

That was in the late 80's.
It would be well over $1000 per night these days.

I'm thinking New Orleans is the only city in Louisiana that would have rooms on this level.

Luxury Suites at La Pavillion
One of them even has Napolean's bathtub.

This extremely rare marble bathtub is purported to have been owned by Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of France. It is hand carved from one single large block of white carrera marble. It is said that the Louisiana Purchase was signed by Napoleon in a marble tub. It is one of only three known to exist in the world today. One of them is proudly displayed in The Louvre Museum in Paris, France, while the other is in a private collection.

Always wanted to stay at La Pavilion as a kid.

Something about that place seemed really cool.

The Huey P Long suite at the Hilton Capitol Center is the nicest I've seen. Stayed there on my wedding night. I'm sure there are some nice ones at l'auberge.

I've stayed in the suites at Le Pavillon since I stay there several times per year and I've become friends with one of the head executives there. Most of them really aren't all that special.

The regular rooms at Le Pavillon are nice enough, and the rooftop pool and nightly PB&J/milk/hot chocolate in the lobby is a nice added touch.

Last year I took my daughter to the Oriental Suite for her birthday...




Did think it was funny when I picked up one of the "priceless oriental artifacts" to examine it, and discovered this...
