About the company

Watermark BR is a one-of-a-kind hotel, part of Marriott's Autograph Collection, housed in a historic 1927 building that was Baton Rouge's first "skyscraper" and originally served as the headquarters for Louisiana Trust & Savings Bank. The landmark property, informally known as the Old Louisiana National Bank building, features Art Deco architecture with Greek Revival elements. Murals by celebrated New Orleans artist Angela Gregory adorn the lobby and restaurant ceilings, while carved marble walls and a grand staircase lead to the original bank vaults. Towering above downtown with views of the Mississippi River, Watermark BR blends preserved 1920s–1960s design references with modern amenities in its public spaces and restaurants.
