B&Bs On Rivers: La Belle Esplanade (New Orleans, LA)
Best For A Local Experience
If you want to explore New Orleans like a local, La Belle Esplanade is a great home base for lodging and learning how to get the best out of your trip to the Crescent City. La Belle Esplanade offers a boutique experience just outside the French Quarter in New Orleans. The boutique offers five rooms for guests to choose from, but has been consistently ranked as one of the best inns in the US. La Belle Esplanade is a non-traditional bed and breakfast better described as a small artisanal hotel that offers New Orleans hospitality on a personal level. But perhaps the best advantage to staying at La Belle Esplanade is the hosts Matthew King and Frau Schmitt, who will help you have the most authentic New Orleans experience possible.
