The Remington Suite Hotel is a longstanding icon of life in downtown Shreveport. A glance inside the 15351967504_01d1f06f29_kprestigious hotel declares its standout level of service. Clean marble floors, polished wood, and exposed brick walls are all reminders of an older time. This backdrop of antiquity is enthroned well with warm and tasteful modern decor. The classy establishment has maintained a reputation of composure and style while still being positioned in the middle of the bustling bar district for more than twenty-five years! A true feat in our changing downtown economy.

What you might not know about the Remington is that they book public musical events in addition to their standard fare of weddings and private parties. Rooftop concerts and outdoor celebrations are becoming a common occurrence. In recent months, bands like Easy Money, Hwy Lions, and Jasper McAdams have taken the stage on the Remington rooftop. It helps that they have a majestic view of the riverboats and bridges from a fourth floor balcony. Outdoor furniture and seating are available around the rooftop — perfect for relaxing under the stars or catching a better view of the fireworks on the river during a special night.
