We Offer Unique Accommodations for an Authentic New Orleans Experience
New Orleans is a magical city. You deserve an authentic New Orleans experience. You belong here.
We prefer to call La Belle Esplanade a tiny artisanal hotel that offers craft New Orleans hospitality on a personal level. Like a traditional bed & breakfast, you'll dine every morning on a curated selection of local New Orleans delicacies from around our neighborhood.
La Belle Esplanade is an untraditional New Orleans B&B. You will get expertly tailored advice from your hosts every morning but this isn't grandma's house stuffed full of antiques and run by amateurs. La Belle Esplanade has been ranked the #1 place to stay in New Orleans by Trip Advisor since April 2014. We've also been ranked the #2 place to stay in the U.S. and #16 in the world. If you are looking for unique accommodations for an authentic New Orleans experience, look no further. You are on the right website.
We only have five suites. All of them are bigger than a New York City apartment. A lot of San Francisco apartments, too. Each suite includes a private bath with a clawfoot tub, equipped with a shower, a bedroom (naturally) and a private sitting room. Every suite also includes a private balcony. We are a non-smoking establishment but smoking is permitted on the balconies.
Every room is a different color. Every ceiling is a different color. New Orleans is a city of stories and every room in La Belle is full of whimsical artifacts and stories to accompany them. There is tourist New Orleans and, then, there is an authentic New Orleans experience. La Belle Esplanade is the real deal.
As a small hotel in a colorful mansion, we have all the amenities you should expect from any artisanal hotel. We have air conditioning in the summer and heat in the winter. We wouldn't have so many five-star reviews if we didn't have these things, as well as hair dryers, ironing boards, wifi, and all the other things that people call to ask about before they make a reservation. Those are people who are used to staying at rink-a-dink bed and breakfasts. La Belle Esplanade is the real deal. We are a professional operation run by two New Orleans goodwill ambassadors. Let us share our part of New Orleans with you.
Perfectly located on beautiful and historic Esplanade Avenue, La Belle Esplanade is the perfect headquarters for authentic New Orleans adventures. Visit New Orleans like you belong here. You do belong here. The best New Orleans memories are made on Esplanade Avenue. Ask anyone.
