A new Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood Suites opened this month in Shreveport-Bossier, La. The opening of the dual-branded hotel is notable for the destination, as Shreveport-Bossier now has more than 10,000 available hotel rooms making it a more attractive option for very large groups that often won’t consider destinations with fewer than 10,000 rooms.
The property offers 9,000 square feet of meeting space and is the state’s first dual-branded lodging option .
Shreveport-Bossier is also anticipating the addition of a sixth riverboat casino this summer, with the June opening of a new Margaritaville development near the Louisiana Boardwalk. The project will add an 18-story hotel with 396 rooms, 30,000 square feet of gaming, 2,500 square feet of meeting space and a 900-seat performance hall with a VIP balcony. Across the Red River, the 30,000-square-foot, SMG-managed Shreveport Convention Center is located downtown with an attached 300-room Hilton Hotel.
