This site is operated by the B&B members of PIANO, the Professional Innkeepers Association of New Orleans. Enjoy your visit to our online home while you learn more about how our B&Bs can make your visit to New Orleans even more special! After all, you can stay in a generic hotel anywhere. Why not make your trip to New Orleans memorable?
In mid-2000, a group of New Orleans innkeepers met to initially establish the New Orleans Bed and Breakfast Association. Later that year, the group broadened its mission to include other innkeepers as well and reformed as the Professional Innkeepers Association of New Orleans. Currently, over 40 properties participate in the organization. PIANO membership is only available to B&Bs and inns which are licensed by the City of New Orleans.
The group meets several times a year to discuss issues of importance to B&Bs and small inns in the New Orleans market. Additionally, members assist potential guests in securing quality B&B accommodations in the event of a first choice being unavailable.
