If you are heading to New Orleans for a special vacation and want to treat yourself to the comfort of a bed and breakfast, put the Burgundy B&B at the top of your list. Located in the up-and-coming Faubourg Marigny neighborhood, this gay-owned-and-operated bed and breakfast offers personalized service to make you feel like you are on cloud nine. Whether trying to revive some romance in your long-term relationship or simply trying to spoil yourself rotten, the treatment you'll receive at this New Orleans bed and breakfast will give you just what you're seeking.
The Burgundy Bed and Breakfast is a historic home from the late nineteenth century which has been converted to allow for extravagant private rooms. The old-world character of this New Orleans hotel has not been sacrificed even though the rooms have been updated to stay in tune with modern needs. From the louvered shutters on the windows to the decorative fireplaces, this bed and breakfast feels like a cozy home from the past. However, with the cyber-cafe and video and reading libraries in the common parlor room, you can do what you need to do in the modern world while you enjoy the historic ambience of the Burgundy.
The beauty of this building doesn't just stay inside either. Outdoors, you can mingle with other guests on the rear porch or the large courtyard (where smoking is allowed) or you can enjoy the spas in the tub-house (where nudity is allowed). Walking just outside of the luxury of the bed and breakfast grounds, you will find yourself within the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood, home to numerous gay-owned and gay-friendly restaurants, boutiques and bars.

Great Host
Carl is a delight. I stayed here about a year ago with a guy I was dating at the time. While that relationship has run it's course - I'd be thrilled to return to New Orleans and stay at The Burgundy again. Carl (the host) is very hospitable and a wealth of information on the local New Orleans attractions / shops, etc. The rooms were cozy and clean and the rate was much better than you'd find at the big hotels.
