Coushatta Casino Resort in Kinder, Louisiana will unveil its new hotel tower during May 2026, constructed in partnership with TBE Architects, Yates Construction and The Wenaha Group while offering 204 guest rooms and 100 suites.
"This expansion reflects the continued vision and long-term investment in the future of Coushatta Casino Resort," Coushatta Casino Resort GM Nate Tanner said.
"For more than three decades, Coushatta has served as an economic engine for our region. This new hotel tower strengthens our ability to welcome more guests, create new jobs and enhance the overall resort experience for years to come."
Coushatta Casino Resort is currently owned and operated by the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana, originally launching in 1995 and representing the state’s largest casino resort property.
Also featuring the largest gaming floor in the Lake Charles area, Coushatta Casino Resort offers close to 2,000 slot and table games to casino players, including live poker, bingo and sports betting.
The grand opening ceremony in May will feature leaders from the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana, as well as representatives of TBE Architects, Yates Construction and The Wenaha Group.
Once completed, the new hotel tower will expand Coushatta Casino Resort’s total inventory to over 1,000 guest rooms and provide additional hospitality and operations positions for Louisiana residents.
On March 3, Coushatta Casino Resort appointed Britton Pruett as its new Director of Food & Beverage, where she began to oversee all restaurant, bar, banquet and beverage operations.
Pruett will also guide the property’s strategic refinement of its wine program to help enhance Coushatta’s guest dining experience, given her prior certification as a sommelier.
Hollywood Casino Columbus, currently operated by Penn Entertainment, will host a grand opening celebration for its new hotel tower on June 12, including an outdoor festival and concert for attendees
