Bed and Breakfast Inns
with notable Architecture
To many, architecture is an art form, and if you can think of a style of architecture, there is at least one bed and breakfast out there that is a shining example of that style. Many bed and breakfasts are unique in combining different architectural styles, or simply breaking every rule of style and doing their own thing. The most common styles of bed and breakfast architecture are the classic favorites, Colonial, Victorian, Rustic and Arts & Crafts, while some of the more unusual examples of noteworthy bed and breakfast architecture include geodesic domes, yurts and even houseboats! Innkeepers pride themselves on their bed and breakfasts, they put all their care and time into these architecturally diverse buildings that are visited by thousands of guests each year. Can you image what it would be like for that many people to walk through, let alone sleep in, your home each year?
Often, the conversion of a private property into a bed and breakfast is the salvation of a treasure from the historic architecture of the past. Large homes, manors and mansions become elegant inns offering luxurious accommodations uniquely designed for hospitality, lovingly restored to their original beauty and filled with period furnishings.
Architectural features worth visiting aren't limited to historic bed and breakfast inns. Modern architecture offers innovative design inspired by art and cutting edge building technologies, and innovative bed and breakfast accommodations showcase the best of architecture's recent ideas from East to West and around the world.
