Hotels in Abbeville Louisiana are mostly simple, well placed and easy to book. Abbeville sits in Cajun Country in Vermilion Parish, and the Vermilion Parish Tourist Commission describes the town as just minutes south of Lafayette. This guide covers where to stay in Abbeville, from chain hotels and motels to historic inns. We checked each property against at least two sources. We state no prices, because rates change daily. Where a detail is unconfirmed, we say so and suggest a phone call.

Hotels in Abbeville Louisiana: What We Verified
Table of Contents
Where to Stay in Abbeville at a Glance
Abbeville has a small lodging market. The Vermilion Parish accommodations page lists about a dozen places in town. Most are chain hotels, older motels, historic inns, cottages and RV parks. You will not find a large resort here. You will find friendly, practical places close to the town square and the main highway.
Three groups of lodging cover most trips. The first is the cluster of hotels and motels along Veterans Memorial Drive. The second is a handful of historic houses near downtown, including the Ducote-Williams House and the Caldwell House. The third is camping at Palmetto Island State Park and several RV parks.
The sections below start with the chain hotels. They then cover motels, historic inns, and options for campers. Later sections explain how to choose, what to see nearby, and which places from the old version of this guide we dropped.
Best Western Abbeville Inn and Suites
The Best Western Abbeville Inn and Suites is the best-known hotel in town. The brand site gives the address as 3515 Veterans Memorial Drive, Abbeville, Louisiana 70510. The Vermilion Parish accommodations page lists the same street address and the phone number 337-740-4100. The parish page marks the front desk as open 24 hours.
The Best Western site lists check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. The hotel serves a free hot breakfast daily and has an outdoor pool and a fitness center. Free Wi-Fi covers the guest rooms and public areas.
Pets are not accepted according to the hotel FAQ on the Best Western site. The same page carries a pet-friendly feature tag, so the page contradicts itself. Call the hotel before you bring an animal. The site does not state the room count, so we cannot give one.
Why This Hotel Suits Most Visitors
The pool and breakfast make the Best Western a good fit for families. Travelers who need a workout will like the fitness center. Business visitors will find a front desk open around the clock. Book early during festival weekends, because the town has few rooms.
Days Inn by Wyndham Abbeville
The Days Inn is a second chain option on the main highway. The Vermilion Parish accommodations page lists the address as 730 Veterans Memorial Drive, Abbeville, LA 70510, with the phone number 337-740-4666 and a front desk open 24 hours, seven days a week. The parish tourism guide lists the same phone number under hotels and motels. A major travel booking site also lists Days Inn by Wyndham Abbeville as a hotel in town.
We could not confirm the amenities, the breakfast, the check-in and check-out times, or the pet rules from an official source. The old version of this guide claimed a free breakfast and a gym. We cannot verify either claim. Call 337-740-4666 and ask before you book.
Motels in Abbeville for a Simple Stay
Motels in Abbeville serve travelers who want a bed, a parking spot and a quick route back to the highway. The parish guide lists several, and we checked the best documented one in detail.
Motel 6 Abbeville
Motel 6 sits at 3523 Veterans Memorial Drive, on the same street as the Best Western. The Vermilion Parish page lists this address with the phone numbers 337-898-3180 and 866-647-3180, and the front desk is open 24 hours. The parish tourism guide lists Motel 6 Abbeville at 337-898-3180.
The booking page for the property lists Wi-Fi, free coffee, coin laundry, accessible rooms and vending machines. The page also says pets are allowed and kids stay free. A travel site lists free self parking, a business center and a garden. We did not find check-in and check-out times in an official source, so ask when you call.
The old version of this guide gave Motel 6 an outdoor pool. None of the pages we checked mention a pool, so we removed the claim.
Other Older Motels Listed by the Parish
The 2020 Vermilion Parish guide also lists the Budget Inn and Suites at 337-898-9770, the SunBelt Lodge Motel at 337-898-1453, the Sunnyside Motel at 337-643-7181 and the Vermilion Motel at 337-893-1404. The parish accommodations page shows 2115 Charity Street with the Budget Inn number, and 1903 Veterans Memorial Drive with the SunBelt number.
We found only one source for each of these, and none gave amenities, check-in times or current condition. Treat them as unconfirmed. Call first, and ask about the date of the last room update if comfort matters to you.
Historic Inns and Bed and Breakfasts Near Downtown
Historic houses give Abbeville a different feel than the highway chains. Both of the places below stand within the old town, near Magdalen Square.
Ducote-Williams House
The Ducote-Williams House is a turn-of-the-century home at 401 N. St. Charles Street. Explore Louisiana, the state tourism site, describes a short walk to the town square. The listing mentions a gourmet breakfast and evening wine appetizers for guests. The grounds include porches, a pond, a patio and a gazebo.
The Explore Louisiana page marks the house as open year round, family friendly, handicap accessible and cash only. Pets on a leash are allowed. The house also hosts weddings, business meetings and formal dinners.
Phone numbers differ between sources. Explore Louisiana lists 337-898-0048. The Vermilion Parish page lists 337-652-4343. The 2020 parish guide lists 337-898-0048. Try the first number, then the second. No source gave check-in or check-out times, so ask when you book. The old guide called the house a restored mansion with elegant rooms. We found no source for the mansion wording and removed the claim.
The Caldwell House
The Caldwell House stands at 105 E. Vermilion Street in historic downtown. The Vermilion Parish tourism page describes a 100-year-old home run as a small inn. The page lists guest rooms, a bridal suite and exclusive rentals. The same page says the house hosts receptions and garden weddings for up to 150 guests. The page also says the inn won the title of Best Small Town Inn in Louisiana for 2013.
The parish page gives the phone number 337-909-0050 with office hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The parish accommodations page and the 2020 guide list Caldwell House and Cottage at 337-281-0807. Use the second number if the first goes unanswered. We found only the parish as a source for the award and the room types, so confirm both by phone.
Cottages and Rentals Listed in Town
The 2020 parish guide lists more small stays, including Apartment A and St. Charles Cottage, Bayou Rose B and B, Cajun Getaway, Crosby Cottage, Pere Megret Cottage and The Guest Room. A booking site also lists Apartment A and a Cozy Cottage in the Historic District. We could not verify the current status of any of these. Many short-term rentals change hands or close without notice. Check recent guest reviews and confirm by phone.
Camping Near Abbeville
Campers have real choices here. The parish guide lists Palmetto Island State Park, Abbeville R.V. Park, Betty’s RV Park, Hebert’s Cajun Haven RV Park and Parc De Pleasant. The parish accommodations page lists the state park at 19501 Pleasant Road with the phone numbers 877-226-7652 and 337-893-3930.
Palmetto Island State Park also hosts the Stir the Pot Louisiana Seafood Cook-off on the Saturday after Easter, according to the parish guide. We did not verify campsite counts or seasonal closures, so call the park or check the Louisiana State Parks reservation page.
Hotels near Magdalen Square and the Historic District
Magdalen Square is the heart of Abbeville. The city tourism page describes large oak trees, a fountain, a gazebo and a statue of Father Megret. The page says live music and Cajun waltz dancing take place here. The Vermilion Parish Courthouse faces the square, and St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church stands on the site of the original town church.
The Ducote-Williams House and the Caldwell House are the two inns we verified in this area. Both put you within walking distance of the square, though we did not measure the distance. If you want to stroll to dinner or the museum, choose one of them. If you want a pool and breakfast, choose the Best Western.
Things to Do near Your Abbeville Hotel
The 2020 parish guide lists these Abbeville attractions: the Abbeville Cultural and Historical Museum and Art Gallery, The Depot at Magdalen Place, Historic Downtown Abbeville, the Louisiana Military Hall of Fame and Museum, the Sam Guarino Blacksmith Shop Museum and Annex, the Wells-Fargo Building and Palmetto Island State Park.
The city tourism page adds the Alliance Center, which displays local artisans, and murals around town showing local culture and history. The page also lists the Vermilion Parish Tourist Center inside the Cultural Museum, just off Magdalen Square. Stop there for event information. The page also lists Bayou Vermilion for boat rides and scenic views.
The old version of this guide sent readers to Vermilionville Historic Village. Vermilionville does not appear on the Abbeville attraction list in the parish guide, and we found no source placing the village in Abbeville. We removed the claim. Check where an attraction stands before you pick a room.
Festivals Near Abbeville Hotels
The 2020 parish guide gives these Abbeville events. The Martin Luther King Celebration takes place at Herod Village on MLK Day. The Stir the Pot Seafood Cook-off runs on the Saturday after Easter. The Daylily Festival and Garden Show runs at Magdalen Square on the Saturday after Memorial Day. The Cake and Ice Cream Festival runs in July at AA Comeaux Park. The Louisiana Cattle Festival takes place on the second weekend of October. Abbeville’s Giant Omelette Celebration runs downtown on the first full weekend in November.
Dates can shift from year to year, so confirm each event with the Vermilion Parish Tourist Commission at 337-898-6600. With so few rooms in town, book early for any of these weekends.
How to Choose Where to Stay in Abbeville
Start with your trip style. Families who want a pool and breakfast should look at the Best Western first. Travelers on a tight schedule who want a simple room can call the Days Inn or Motel 6. Couples who want a historic setting should call the Ducote-Williams House or the Caldwell House. Campers should look at Palmetto Island State Park.
Next, check your dates against the festival list above. Then call two properties and ask the same five questions. What are the check-in and check-out times? Is breakfast included? Do you accept pets? Is parking free? What is the cancellation rule? The answers will tell you more than any online listing.
Finally, remember Abbeville is a small town. Some of the best cottages and inns have only a few rooms. If your first choice has no room, try the next phone number on the list.
Getting to Abbeville and Staying Nearby
The parish guide places Abbeville just minutes south of Lafayette and west of New Iberia. Highway 82 runs south from town through marshes, fishing piers and wildlife areas. The Cajun Corridor Scenic Byway links Abbeville with Delcambre, Erath, Kaplan and Gueydan.
The parish guide does not give mileage or drive times for these places, and we do not guess them. Use a map app for your own route. The Vermilion Parish accommodations page also lists stays in Kaplan and Erath, so you have options outside Abbeville if the town fills up.
What We Checked and Removed
We checked the Best Western site, the Vermilion Parish accommodations and tourism pages, the 2020 Vermilion Parish guide, the Explore Louisiana listing for the Ducote-Williams House, the city of Abbeville tourism page and a major travel booking site.
We kept five properties: the Best Western Abbeville Inn and Suites, the Days Inn by Wyndham, Motel 6, the Ducote-Williams House and the Caldwell House. We dropped the Farmhouse at the Quadruplex vacation rental. We found no listing for the name in any source we checked, so we cannot say the rental exists or is open.
Several details remain unconfirmed. These include the Days Inn amenities, check-in times at Motel 6, the Ducote-Williams House check-in times, and the room counts at every property. Please call before you book.
