One issue found to be putting people off travel and touring is the dislike they have for conventional hotels. It seems that people still love to visit new places and attractions but miss their home comforts. Staying in a New Orleans b and b provides visitors with high standards of accommodation whilst still maintaining a homely atmosphere.

A diverse collection of Spanish, African, American and French backgrounds make New Orleans a wonderful mixture of contrasting cultures. This is amply reflected in the variety of spicy foods, mix of languages and the blues rooted music. Famed for lively Mardi Gras celebrations and the French Quarter, an area with its origins in the colonial period, civil rights activists and organizers also had a strong influence. Hurricane Katrina, and the devastation it caused to lives and property, placed the city prominently into the news headlines in more recent times.

The city is probably the most perfect location for bed and breakfast accommodation as it has some of the most amazing and majestic houses to be found anywhere in the United States. These can range from large rambling houses to small and quaint garden cottages. Look for B & B images on any internet search engine will reveal hundreds of the most amazing buildings which all seem to have their own unique design. From colorful Creole Cottages, hundred year old mansions along St. Charles Avenue to charming real Southern style homes, there is something in New Orleans to suit every taste and preference.

It would take some considerable space to mention every advantage the B and B concept has over normal hoteliers so here only the most significant will get mentioned. Foremost and probably that with the most impact is stretching the cash available in the accommodation budget. A good b and b will usually offer the guest a far better deal for their hard earned dollars or pounds, but savings are only the beginning.

In a vast number of instances the proprietors oversee the day to day tasks required to stay on top of their businesses and it is widely known that owners can be their own worst enemies when it comes to achieving the highest standards. Frequently the passion they have for attaining excellence possesses them and this results in some very well run establishments. This provides exceptional experiences for their clients with whom they often form life long relationships.

Guests are of course the beneficiaries of this type of management style. This is clearly evident when considering how much repeat and referred business bed-and-breakfast institutions generate. Consumers are well known for voting with their feet when dissatisfied. Conversely if they have enjoyed an experience, they are not only very likely to repeat it, they will tell their friends about it as well.

Owner run establishments will typically have been long term residents in their particular area. Consequently they will have a far better and more detailed knowledge of the area when it comes to recommending attractions, shops, restaurants or even something as simple as the best route to avoid traffic jams. They will also be aware of those off the beaten track kind of places that can often make treasured memories.

New Orleans can offer some of the finest bed and breakfast accommodation on offer. Regions abundant with well run institutions include the Garden District, Algiers, the French Quarter, Esplanade Ridge and many more. Those that seek will be spoilt with choice.
