Watermark Hotel

A stately presence and storied past meet at the Watermark where guests will find the richest and most eclectic hotel experience in downtown Baton Rouge. Our story began nearly a century ago, high on a bluff overlooking the majestic Mississippi River, when intrepid financiers built our iconic skyscraper as the headquarters of Louisiana Trust & Savings Bank. Today, echoes of that era remain, in hand-painted ceiling murals, carved marble walls and staircases, and old bank vaults converted into dramatic meeting and dining spaces.
