The hotel

Known as the Crown Jewel of Louisiana’s River Road, Inn at Houmas House, Plantation Country is an outstanding antebellum estate, bursting with southern charm. The set location of many a film and TV show, actors such as Bette Davis and Chevy Chase have filmed here, so it may well feel more than familiar to you! When you’re not sightseeing, spend some time at leisure in the gardens, home to an ancient oak alley and year-round blooms. The dramatic and inviting Fountain Courtyard is another popular gathering place for guests. Dining at Houmas House is not just a treat, it’s an experience. Latil’s Landing Restaurant in the French House is over 230 years old with original beamed ceilings, cypress mantels, wood burning fireplaces and original wood floors. Feast on gourmet cuisine served upon Limoge china, soaking up the grand atmosphere that prevails. For less formal meals there is Cafe Burnside, serving everything from healthy salads and fried oyster po-boys to filet mignon, washed down with a mint julep perhaps or a glass of wine served from the estates very own wine cellars.

This was a magnificent trip! Beautiful house and grounds! Schedule enough time to view in light and dark. The grounds are magical at night. Can’t say enough positive things about this trip. Skip Oak Alley if only doing one or other!

We visited for our anniversary. Everything was beautifully decorated for Christmas. We ate supper at the Carriage House restaurant. It was very good. Stayed in one of the cottages. It was a lovely room.

The tour & gardens were so worth it and if you are a movie buff, 'Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte' was filmed here which the tour guide pointed out.
