Since 1908 Alexandria has enjoyed the luxurious Hotel Bentley which was built by a wealthy lumberman named Joseph A. Bentley. This grand hotel is known for its decor, fine dining, and superb accommodations. Its placement next to the Red River and its status as a historical Louisiana landmark have been the major attraction of the guests who enjoy the experience of staying there. Alexandria is also home to one of the finest authentic Irish pubs in the region, the appropriately named [Finnegans Wake]. Down the street, you can enjoy art, jazz, and a cocktail at the classy Alex 1805 lounge. The [Coughlin-Saunders Performing Arts Center] also resides nearby. This state of the art theater opened in 2004 and seats 615 people. The center was designed to host artists as well as companies, businesses, schools, and anyone who needs a facility that can provide these kinds of accommodations.
