A historic lodging on the banks of the Ouachita River — where every sunrise paints the water in gold and every evening feels like coming home.
Accommodations
Each room carries the warmth of 1928 — high ceilings, river light, and the quiet dignity of a house that has welcomed travelers for nearly a century.
Sunlight streams through tall windows onto original hardwood floors. A king bed dressed in linens the color of river mist makes this our most coveted space.
A retreat within the house — plush seating, a writing desk, and the gentle hum of the river just beyond the garden wall. Perfect for a quiet afternoon.
Under the eaves, where the roofline slopes and the light is softest. A charming nook with a double bed and a view of the old neighborhood.

The Experience
The Mitchell House isn't just a hotel — it's a piece of West Monroe's story. Built in 1928 along the Ouachita River, this house has witnessed a century of riverboats, jazz, and quiet mornings on the porch.
When you stay with us, you're not checking into a chain. You're stepping into a home where the floors still creak the same way, the light falls the same way, and the river never stops whispering.
Steps from the Ouachita River — walk the levee, fish at dawn, or watch the barges drift by from our porch.
Original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and architectural details that no modern build can replicate.
We know our guests by name. Your room is prepared with care, and your comfort is our only concern.
Set back from the bustle, surrounded by mature trees and the sound of water — sleep deeply here.
