Escape to the Magnolia Room — your private Carriage House suite tucked along Bayou Rapides. From the moment you step inside you’ll find thoughtful touches for a relaxing stay: a jetted whirlpool tub for long soaks, a separate glass shower, private water closet, and a kitchenette stocked for light meals and snacking. Step out onto your balcony for quiet morning coffee with tree-lined, water views or curl up in the tastefully decorated sitting area.
Perfect for romantic getaways, anniversaries, or a peaceful business stay, the Magnolia Room pairs the charm of a country cottage with easy access to Alexandria’s dining, museums and the airport. The suite offers privacy, luxury conveniences, and a restful atmosphere. **Please note: this is not a Double Room. **
