The Cook Hotel
Since its grand opening 10 years ago, The Cook Hotel and Conference Center at LSU remains the gold standard among on-campus facilities across the country.
The Cook Hotel is the brainchild of two men whose names are synonymous with LSU. Thanks to the vision of LSU Alumni Association President Charlie Roberts coupled with the resources of one of LSU’s most distinguished alums, Lod Cook, The Cook Hotel opened its doors in August 2001.
With upscale accommodations accented with an LSU flair, The Cook Hotel attracts thousands of guests every year who leave with a feeling different from hotels elsewhere.
The Cook Hotel and Conference Center at LSU features 128 rooms, with exactly half consisting of luxury and signature suites. Situated on the best piece of real estate in Baton Rouge, you’ll drive through LSU’s stately oaks along Lakeshore Drive and wake up to magnificent sunrises over picturesque University Lake.
Other hotels may have names you know, but once you visit The Cook Hotel, you’ll never think twice again about where to stay in Baton Rouge.
