NEW ORLEANS' BED AND BREAKFASTS
Looking out for a new place to stay? The Lookout Inn in the Bywater
THE Bed and Breakfast INNS OF NEW ORLEANS
Do you have folk coming into town? Do you want to take a great-value vacation in your own city? You should look at New Orleans' bed and breakfast inns. Air BnBs are terrible for our community and locals, AND they’re expensive now! Plus, the owners - who likely aren't locals and can be hard to reach if there are any problems - usually have long lists of chores for guests. Who needs that? If you’re looking for local living options for yourself or your people when they come into town, then these legal and lovely bed and breakfast inns should be on your radar. Great value, friendly hosts, and best of all, no responsibilities. There's something here for every taste and budget. Support the local economy, and people that actually live here.
These are the legal, licensed bed and breakfast inns of the city, and all the properties listed belong to the Professional Innkeepers Association of New Orlean (PIANO). For bookings, go to bbnola.com.
The Marigny
Chez Palmiers
1744 North Rampart Street
This plum spot in the Marigny is especially welcoming to Anglophiles, with tasteful British themes and motifs throughout. Pools are a rarity in this part of town, but Chez Palmiers has their very own, as well as a couple of adorable basset hounds to keep you company on the deck. Expect generous continental breakfasts, friendly hosts and a quick walk to the Quarter, Frenchmen Street and Crescent Park. Website
Auld Sweet Olive
2460 North Rampart Street
Just steps from the French Quarter and Frenchmen Street, Auld Sweet Olive sits in the heart of the Marigny—where history meets hip. The neighborhood hums with flavor-forward restaurants, indie coffee spots, and lively bars. After a day of wandering and a night of music, unwind in our hand-frescoed rooms and parlor, or cool off in our year-round pool—chilled for summer, heated for winter. And because we take the “breakfast” in Bed & Breakfast to heart, mornings here always start with something fresh, creative, and downright craveable. Website
