The Best Hotels to Book in Slidell, Louisiana
“Come for the swamps, stay for the vibes” isn’t a slogan you’d ever expect to see employed in order to attract visitors, but in the case of Slidell, it works. Folks come here for the Honey Island Swamp – a haunting, pristine fresh-water swamp nestled between the west and east Pearl rivers. Then they discover the bustling town – full of restaurants, shops, galleries, and history museums – and decide to stay awhile. Here are the best hotels in Slidell, bookable on Culture Trip.
Holiday Inn Express Slidell, for swamp tours galore
Hotel
A Holiday Inn Express is always a safe bet, with its simple-yet-effective rooms and budget-friendly prices. Just 2mi (3.2km) from Camp Salmen Nature Park, close to the Cajun Encounters Swamp Tour, and just a thirty-minute drive from The Big Easy – there’s no better location. There’s a complimentary breakfast buffet, coffee in the lobby, an outdoor pool (open until 11PM), and a cardio gym with elliptical trainers, a stationary bicycle, and a treadmill.
TownePlace Suites by Marriott Slidell, for a longer stay
Hotel
This all-suite offering is a real home-from-home. Located off Interstate 10, across from the Fremaux Town Centre, TownePlace Suites is also only minutes away from the Stennis Space Centre and a short drive from Olimpic Beach. The modern, well-designed and comfortable suites have kitchenettes – or even a full kitchen for the larger options – and there is also an outdoor pool and fitness center.
Hampton Inn Slidell, for fitness fans
Hotel
Two miles (3.2km) from the antique shops and cafes of Slidell Olde Towne, 4mi (6.4km) from Oak Harbour Golf Club, and a thirteen-minute drive from Honey Island Swamp Tours, the Hampton makes a great base from which to explore Slidell. After a visit to the outdoor pool and exercise room, you’ll want to wash off the workout in your room, which features rainfall showerheads.
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Slidell, for true comfort
Hotel
Located off Interstate 12, 12mi (19km) from the Louisiana-Mississippi border, and near local destinations including the John C. Stennis Space Center, the Slidell Mardi Gras Museum, and the Big Branch Marsh National Wildlife Refuge, this relaxed hotel in Slidell is comfort personified. Sleep with feather pillows and pillowtop mattresses. After fueling up with the free breakfast, you can hike, fish, or soak up the sun in the state parks, and then come back and relax in the bubbling jacuzzi and outdoor pool. If you’re feeling hungry, stoke up the barbecues and get your grill on.
Homewood Suites Slidell, for finding home (for a few days)
Hotel
This spacious and appealing all-suite offering from Hilton makes a fantastic home for a few days. You’re just minutes away from Slidell Olde Town, and just over five miles from Big Branch Marsh National Wildlife Refuge on Lake Pontchartrain. Hotel facilities include a sociable fire pit, outdoor pool, a generous free hot breakfast, and a gym with both cardio and weights equipment.
Candlewood Suites Slidell Northshore, for a lakeside layover
Suite Hotel
Conveniently located off I-12 on the Northeast Shore of Lake Pontchartrain, 4mi (6.4km) from the 18th-century Francois Cousin House, and a short drive from the Slidell Trailhead, this all-suite hotel is an unpretentious yet welcoming place to call your temporary home. Range-top stoves and all kinds of crockery mean you won’t miss your kitchen, and big beds give you more room to spread out. When you’re done snoozing, you can sip on a beer in the outdoor barbecue area.
Wingate by Wyndham Slidell, for a great location
Hotel
A contemporary offering nestled in Louisiana’s famous Ozone Belt, you’re a short drive from the numerous surrounding parks, minutes from the Pinewood Golf Club, and only 7mi (11.2km) from the North Shore Square Mall and its plethora of shops.
