The Burgundy Bed and Breakfast  

We're a small and cozy gay owned and operated New Orleans Bed & Breakfast Inn in the Faubourg Marigny, just a few blocks from the French Quarter. The guests of our B and B accommodations are a perfect mix of lesbians, gay men and straight men and women - come enjoy our Louisiana hospitality, as we cater to your individual wants and needs! We can guide you to many local sites and attractions - including restaurants, shopping, music clubs and lesbian and gay New Orleans bars. We have renovated and converted the property from the 1890's Eastlake style shotgun double to the bed and breakfast. Almost everything in the house is original, including the 8 (not working, formerly coal-burning) fireplaces, the hardwood floors, the 12 foot ceilings (a few of which have original plaster medallions and crown moulding), the louvered shutters, as well as the doors (including two sets of pocket doors) and windows. We have made every effort to retain the original character of this New Orleans treasure in the new bed and breakfast. So the only structural changes we made in the front eight rooms were installing doors between the two sides and a bathroom in a former hallway. One of the two rear rooms (a former kitchen) has been divided into a galley kitchen and a bath.

The Burgundy Bed and Breakfast has 4 guest rooms, 3 of which have their own private bath. We share the courtyard, spa, porches and the dining room with our guests. And there is a parlor and a galley kitchen for the guests to share. The parlor is a meeting point, sitting room, library (videos and books) and "cyber-cafe" - we have wireless internet - all in one. The galley kitchen has a refrigerator, sink, microwave, coffee maker and toaster oven. The rear porch opens onto a courtyard, which is suitable for sunbathing. Across the courtyard is the half-open "tub house", in which the spa (whirlpool, hot tub, Jacuzzi) is located. We have a "clothing optional" policy in the spa and sunbathing area.

We request that our smoking guests restrict smoking to the back porch and the courtyard.

And by the way, "Burgundy" is one of several street names which are locally "mispronounced": We say bur-GUN-dy, although the color of the same name is pronounced BUR-gun-dy. Probable reason: The street was named after the Duke of Burgundy, in French bour-GON-ye.
