Home for the Holidays

From glittering decorations and light displays to delicious seasonal craft cocktails and specialty menus, a boutique hotel at the holidays is a magical setting for friends, couples, and families alike to create new traditions and make memories that last a lifetime. By curating the perfect backdrop to experience the spellbinding spirit of the season, Renaissance Baton Rouge and WATERMARK Hotel are where you and yours will want to be, whether it's finding a place to stay for family, planning a getaway of your own, or simply dropping in for dinner and drinks. 

From Thanksgiving through New Year’s, gathering with friends and family to break bread together is a treasured part of the holidays. While turkey tends to be the star of the dining table, the demand of preparing back-to-back spreads can quickly lose its luster. The stress of it all can leave you yearning for some peace and quiet and a generous pour of something strong. This year, skip the long hours spent grocery shopping, meal prepping, and laboring in the kitchen and treat yourself to a fine dining feast at Tallulah Crafted Food & Wine Bar or The Gregory instead. 

Families will be delighted to find an elaborate "Christmas in Louisiana" display staged in the Renaissance lobby, complete with Papa Noel in his pirogue ready to deliver presents to all of the good boys and girls in Cajun Country. WATERMARK will also be decked out to the nines, with a traditional Christmas tree setup  

Plus, for your out-of-town extended family or relatives returning home, they'll get an authentic sense of the joie de vivre culture celebrated in our beloved Bayou State, as Renaissance has infused the spirit of Louisiana into practically every aspect of the hotel, from the sprawling visual of the Mississippi Delta depicted behind the lobby's front desk to the Cajun-French dictionary entries papering the guest bathrooms. There's nowhere better to spend the most wonderful time of the year.
