The Drifter Hotel Overview

Located along Tulane Avenue, The Drifter Hotel offers a truly one-of-a-kind location for your wedding day. Thanks to its retro “motel” sign out front, this unassuming low-rise seems at first glance like a forgotten 1950s anachronism, but once you look beyond the signage, you will find a truly unique venue characterized by modernized nostalgia. Imagine congregating by the centralized pool to celebrate your union surrounded by finely manicured lawns and vintage-style lounge chairs, creating an unforgettable backdrop for kicking off your lives together as spouses. Aside from the unusual setting, you and your guests can enjoy a singular menu on your wedding day. In addition to a café serving up specialty coffee from La Colombe and baked goodies, the culinary program sees a rotation of chic food trucks and on-property pop-ups that offer a host of ever-changing tastes, from Mexico City to Haiti, Colombia, and beyond. If you have been searching for that once-in-a-lifetime locale for your big day, look no further than The Drifter.
