L’Auberge Casino Resort Completes Major Renovations, A Popular Escape for San Antonians

LAKE CHARLES, La. — Just a five and a half hour drive from San Antonio, L’Auberge Casino Resort Lake Charles has long been a favored getaway for many Texans looking for a break from the city. With its blend of casino excitement, luxury amenities, and stunning views, it’s the perfect spot for San Antonians seeking a quick and indulgent retreat. Now, the resort is offering even more reason to visit with the unveiling of a massive $80 million hotel renovation.

The 10-month renovation is over halfway complete, with nearly 1,000 refreshed and modern rooms set to be finished by the end of 2024. These rooms, located in the main hotel tower, feature high-end finishes and bright, clean designs, bringing a fresh take on Texas lodge elegance. L’Auberge is now also pet-friendly, making it easier for guests to bring their furry family members along for the trip.

According to General Manager Harold Rowland, “Guests who have already experienced the changes are thrilled with the quality of our new offerings, and we can’t wait to share that excitement with even more visitors.”

Many San Antonians already know L’Auberge for more than just its hotel—it’s the entire experience. The resort has modernized its casino floor, introducing new bars and sleek finishes, while maintaining guest favorites like the Tom Fazio-designed 18-hole golf course, the relaxing lazy river, and the full-service spa. Recently, the resort welcomed Johnny Sánchez, a vibrant Mexican restaurant by celebrity chef Aarón Sánchez, adding to its impressive dining lineup.

Guests can also enjoy top-tier restaurants like Ember Grille & Wine Bar, the lively Daiquiris and Dogs, and Drago’s Seafood, known for its waterfront views and all-you-can-eat snow crab specials.

For sports lovers, the ESPN BET Sportsbook continues to host weekend-long tailgate celebrations with appearances from ESPN Radio personalities. Whether it’s fine dining, relaxation, or live entertainment, there’s something for everyone at L’Auberge.

With more than half of the newly renovated rooms ready to book starting in October, now is the perfect time to plan your next trip from San Antonio. It’s just five hours away but feels like a world apart.
