Where To Stay In A New Orleans Bed And Breakfast

By Anna Richardson


New Orleans is one of the oldest cities in the United States, and its architecture shows it, as many structures are historical and represent a bygone era. Whether you are a history buff or love to take ghost tours, you can expect to be well entertained in this historical city. While you are there, you may want to try out one of many local New Orleans bed and breakfast establishments.

Hotels are great, and there are many in the area. However, if you are looking for a cozy and quaint place, a bed and breakfast is where it is at. You get lots of individual attention, because most places are 10 rooms or less, though some may have a few more. Either way, this gives you the chance to meet other guests and get to know them.

In fact, some places really play up the social aspect. They serve meals at group tables, and may offer a tea session or even a wine and cheese hour in order to meet others. These sessions are completely optional though, so you do not have to feel pressured to participate in any of them if you do not want to.

There are many very distinct but no less charming neighborhoods in the city, and you can find a bed and breakfast in just about every one of them, as they are quite popular all over. A perfect example is the Garden District, which has many a historical building with opulent architecture to enjoy. The Sully Mansion is a good B&B in the area that gives you a taste of what to expect from this neighborhood.

While many B&Bs in the area have white facades, the La Bell Explanade, located on Explanade Avenue, is quite different. If you like different, consider this choice for its loud paint colors and curated artwork hanging inside, that makes it feel like a mini art gallery. The owners have also put out curiosities that help tell a tale of this wonderful city while teaching you something about its rich history that is sure to make you want to come back again.

The Mid-City area is where Canal Street, one of the most famous streets in the entire metro area, is located. It is also home to the Canal Street streetcar line, which takes you to some of the most famous and touristy areas of the city, such as the French Quarter, the Superdome, Audubon Zoo and much more. A great place to stay in this area is the Canal Street Inn among others.

Business visitors who still want to do some sightseeing may like the 1896 O'Malley House, which is a converted Victorian mansion. The reason it works for business people is that it is near a streetcar line, so you save money by not renting a car to get to local business centers. It is also near the airport, which is very convenient.

If you are getting married, consider spending your honeymoon in the Crescent City. If you do, there are many bed and breakfasts that have honeymoon suites. One such place is the Fleur De Lis Mansion located on Annuncition St. The honeymoon suite has a spa tub and all the luxury amenities you desire to feel pampered and well taken care of.
