Evangeline Downs Hotel Ascend Hotel Collection  

In the heart of Opelousas, Louisiana — a short stroll from Evangeline Downs Racetrack & Casino. Minutes from local museums and historic Le Vieux Village, this casino hotel drops you into true Louisiana culture.

Newly built, warmly themed hotel with a big lobby fireplace and roomy public spaces. Choose from 117 air-conditioned rooms with pillow-top beds, flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, microwaves and in-room safes; select rooms add wet bars, sofa sleepers and balconies. Pet-friendly (fees apply) and ADA-designed rooms available.

Direct access to the racetrack and casino puts gaming and live entertainment at your doorstep. Unwind in a large indoor heated pool and 6–8 person whirlpool, hit the state-of-the-art fitness room, or try your luck at the on-site nightclub. Ample on-site parking with valet options and on-property gift shop keep things easy.

Complimentary high-speed wired and wireless internet throughout the property and a 24-hour business center. Flexible meeting and banquet space (about 800 sq ft) seats up to 50–60 people, with public computers and copy/fax services.

Three on-site restaurants, a coffee shop/café and two bars/lounges cover morning coffee to late-night drinks. Complimentary hot breakfast is served daily from 6:00–10:00 AM, and the connected racetrack/casino offers even more dining and live-entertainment options.
