Carmel Inn and Suites

The Carmel Inn & Suites is a family-owned hotel in Thibodaux, Louisiana, steeped in the bayou land and Acadian culture of the region. The property sits on grounds with a history dating to 1855, when Father Charles M. Menard established a girls' school on the site. The Sisters of Mt. Carmel operated the school until 1965, and the hotel opened in 1973 on the original grounds — carrying that heritage into its present identity. For events, the inn offers more than 5,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space, accommodating gatherings from intimate celebrations to weddings of up to 150 guests. The Thibodeauxville Room, along with the adjoining Loudun and Bayou Garden Rooms, provides flexible space for weddings, receptions, baby showers, and private parties. Rental packages include tables, chairs, white tablecloths, and cleanup service, with catering available through preferred local partners.
