Fodor's Expert Review Catahoula Hotel

A stylish boutique hotel with outdoor hangout spaces, tucked away on a small side street in the middle of downtown.

room

Simple and modern with good lighting, exposed brick, and Louisiana Cypress wood furniture. Some premium rooms have private balconies.

Room size varies to accommodate every modern traveler, from the economical bunk room (four twin beds total, and little else) to the Master Bedroom, replete with a living room, double shower, and balcony.

bathroom

There are rainfall showerheads in every bathroom. There are also AVEDA products. It's good.

lobby

The lobby is a comfortable, stylish lounge area with a full coffee bar—somewhere you’d want to hang out even if you weren’t staying at the hotel, probably.

dining

The Pisco Bar offers Peruvian cuisine centered around fresh fish and vegetables, peppers, and bright citrusy flavors, with ceviche and many vegetarian choices on the menu.

drinking

The small black and white tiled bar off of the lobby is quaint and friendly, with knowledgeable bartenders and a sophisticated selection of spirits. The bar program is built off of Pisco, the Peruvian brandy, with inventive cocktails and dynamic service. Head out to the courtyard, or up to the rooftop terrace bar for cocktail sipping in good weather.
