Bank Street Bed & Breakfast
Experience the warmth of home and the joy of connection at Bank Street Bed & Breakfast, an historic home in the heart of Lake Charles, Louisiana.
A place to belong, not just a place to stay.
Bank Street B&B sits in Southwest Louisiana, where Cajun country meets the Gulf Coast. Come for the food, the music, the waterways, and the people.
Created by the founders of Trips to Walkabout, Bank Street B&B was born from years of designing meaningful travel. We understand that the best parts of a journey happen when you slow down long enough to connect.

A DAILY TRADITION
The Second Cup
Stay a 2nd night and we invite you to our Second Cup. It’s our signature Southern-style moment, more intimate than a formal high tea. Carefully prepared local coffee or tea, seasonal Southern-inspired treats, and an unhurried hour to relax in one of our sunlit common rooms.
It’s the kind of quiet luxury you didn’t know you needed, until you experience it.
