Gather. Celebrate. Stay.
Baton Rouge’s Boutique Luxury Venue with New Orleans Soul
A Storied Space
Built in 1928, The 121 is a historic French Colonial venue in the heart of downtown Baton Rouge, with French Quarter–style ironwork, exposed brick and original wood floors. Today, two floors of historic charm and a balcony overlooking the Mississippi River welcome weddings, social celebrations and corporate gatherings of up to 250 guests. When the celebration ends, the story continues: overnight accommodations let you and your guests stay a little longer in a private retreat in the city.

Event Guest
“The 121 was perfect for our event! This building is absolutely beautiful and the decor is perfection. They made the process super easy and seamless. We were able to use catering of our choice, which I personally think is great and set up tables/chairs how we wanted to. There is also an option for security to ensure safety. I highly recommend the 121 for your next function!”
