our history

 

Since 1926, Morel's Restaurant and Courtyard Inn have been a staple of Pointe Coupee and New Roads. Set on the water, in the heart of downtown New Roads, Morel's offers a traditional boutique experience for dining, lodging, and events. The Inn offers 12 unique rooms with comfortable bedding and amenities. The courtyard is a hidden gem where you are welcomed by New Orleans style gas lanterns and the soothing sounds of an antique water fountain.

circa event center 

​

Adjacent to the property and ideally located in Downtown New Roads is Circa Event Center, an outstanding event venue for weddings, receptions and parties. Originally a turn of the century fire station built in 1903, the building has been converted to a fully catered event center but still retains its original industrial look and feeling. Visit Circa's website for a more in-depth look at our rich and extensive offerings for planning your next engagement.
