Carmel Inn and Suites of Thibodaux is the perfect place to stay while you explore the Cajun Country region of Louisiana. Surrounded by large oak trees and southern mansions along Bayou Lafourche, the Carmel Inn is built at the historic landmark site that was once a Mount Carmel convent and school, dating back to before the Civil War. Elements of the original building were preserved and restored, and incorporated into the present structure of this unique hotel.

Soak up the local culture as you enjoy an incredible dinner prepared in our restaurant by the famous John Folse Culinary Institute, drive past miles of sugar cane fields along the bayou, or take an excursion to plantations or a swamp tour.

Carmel Inn is conveniently located less than a mile from the campus of Nicholls State University and the Thibodaux Regional Medical Center and is only blocks away from Canal Street, Thibodaux Civic Center, and downtown Thibodaux's historic cathedral and the Jean Lafitte Acadian Cultural Center. During the Carnival season, Mardi Gras Parades roll just one block from the hotel. It is a short drive to numerous restaurants, retail and antique shopping. Nearby helicopter service offers flights to oil industry
professionals heading offshore or to Port Fourchon.
