Renaissance Navigators

“Wherever you go, go with all your heart.” It’s good advice, especially when visiting Louisiana, where life is meant to be lived straight from the heart—with generous participation from the taste buds. Unfortunately, modern travelers, often grappling with a string of faceless accommodations, exhausting transportation logistics, and tangles of vague recommendations, may find themselves too overwhelmed to embrace their destination whole-heartedly once they arrive.

Fortunately, the Renaissance Baton Rouge Hotel offers the perfect antidote to this travel frazzle. Its one-of-a-kind décor crafted by local artists along Louisiana themes and the Southern-inspired, locally-sourced menu of Tallulah serve as on-site glimpses into the area’s rich, unique culture. It’s an atmosphere that cultivates a genuine sense of place, serving both to orient visitors and to intrigue them to explore the area further.

Not sure where to start taking in all that Baton Rouge has to offer? The Renaissance’s team of friendly Navigators is on-hand to help! They’re your guide to curating an authentic experience of the neighborhood based on their extensive local knowledge and your own personal interests and schedule.

“We want to encourage their curiosity and point them toward something that might be off the beaten path. The aim is helping our guests have a story to take home,” says Alison Crump of the Wampold Hospitality Collection.

Your adventure begins when you check in at the front desk, where a team equipped with local savvy and Navigator iPads helps you create a personalized itinerary that you can upload to your smartphone on the spot. Need to settle in before planning a night on the town? No problem. Every Renaissance ambassador is a trained Navigator happy to help you make the best of your stay whenever you need a bit of guidance. You can even head down to the bar at Tallulah and snag some advice from your in-the-know bartender while sipping a glass of fine wine or local beer.

Whether its a boutique that features hand-crafted items from local artisans, a cozy Italian restaurant that flies under the tourist radar, or a sizzling spot for live jazz music, there are plenty of opportunities to discover the real Baton Rouge just around the corner when you’re staying at the Renaissance Baton Rouge Hotel.
