What's Special About L'Auberge du Lac: Set on Contraband Bayou amidst 227 acres, L'Auberge du Lac's rustic design is inspired by the Texas Hill country. The lobby features massive stone fireplaces, dark woods and stone. Furnishings are Arts & Crafts inspired, and skylights provide natural light. The property also has a riverboat casino, a Tom Fazio golf course, swimming pool with a sandy beach and a lazy river, a full-service spa and several restaurants.
Guest Rooms and Rates:
  • 743 guest rooms and suites, decorated in a rustic Arts & Crafts style and housed in an asymmetrical, 26-story tower, from about $100.
  • Suites range in size from 550 to 2,100 square feet.
  • A "villa complex" adjacent to the main tower houses suites with private courtyards and whirlpools, and views of the swimming pool or Contraband Bayou.
