Best New Orleans Bed & Breakfast
Soniat House
1133 Chartres St., New Orleans, La. 70116
Here’s what one guest said about Soniat House. “One of the nicest hotel’s I’ve stayed at. I still reminisce on the freshly squeezed orange juice I’d drink in the stunning courtyard every morning. They also had phenomenal freshly baked croissants. My stay here was a few years ago, but I await my return. I know that the Soniat House is undergoing renovations right now, but prior each of the rooms were different with their own unique charm. I hope that they maintain this unique splendor. I still remember the fluffy kitty that lurked around the property too she was the cutest.”
Auld Sweet Olive
2460 N. Rampart St. New Orleans, La. 70117
Here’s what one guest said about the Auld Sweet Olive bed and breakfast.
“Love the historic Sweet Olive! It’s a true bed and breakfast, and the food is awesome. The host, Kate is responsive and charming. I loved having breakfast in the dining area & meeting the other guests. Parking is not a problem. Also they have a pool and hot tub. We definitely will be back on our next trip to NOLA!”
