The new 87-room Origin Hotel Baton Rouge, a Wyndham Hotel, stands as a testament to the city's rich history, located steps from the legendary Mississippi River. Once home to the Baton Rouge Savings & Loan Association and, later, the esteemed East Baton Rouge Arts and Technology School (EBRATS), a beacon for non-traditional learning and a vital contributor to the downtown renaissance, the building preserves its legacy with murals, artwork, and journals intricately woven into its design.
