A Venue Unlike Any Other

The Bazus occupies the oldest structure in New Iberia’s historic district — a building that has stood at the heart of downtown since the 1850s. Once home to the Bazus Hotel and Restaurant, this space has welcomed travelers, locals, and celebrations for over a century.

Renovated in 2022 with care for its original character, The Bazus now offers an intimate setting for your most meaningful occasions. Cypress ceilings, exposed brick, antique furnishings, and modern amenities come together in a space that feels both timeless and alive.
