Bed and breakfast themes are niche WordPress themes available for the hotel and lodging industry.

This post features a collection of over 20 bed and breakfast themes available for WordPress. These themes are more than capable of showcasing B&Bs effectively through the styles and features they offer. Let’s go over what exactly a bed and breakfast is and what features you should look for before we get into the list.

What are Bed and Breakfast Themes?

The amount of hotel, inn, and bed and breakfast themes (not to mention the booking and reservation plugins) available for WordPress is a testament to how much it has grown from a humble blogging platform to a powerful content management system. These themes allow you to build entire websites capable of showcasing the business’ rooms and best features, and they even allow guests to book rooms directly on the website.

We’ve written about this subject a couple times here at WP Mayor. You can view some of these posts using the links below. They include a theme collection, plugin collection and even a theme review.

Let’s get to the features these types of themes offer.

Top Features of Bed and Breakfast Themes

Let’s take a moment to go over the differences between the different types of accommodation in the lodging industry, which are typically hotels, inns, and bed and breakfasts. Here’s a quick breakdown:

  • Hotels – A large-scale lodging establishment typically part of a larger chains. Typically offers dozens and even hundreds of rooms per establishment. Offers all three meals, room service and several amenities on the premises, including pools, bars, golf courses, lounges, conference rooms, activities and more.
  • Inns – A small-scale lodging establishment typically not part of a chain. It has fewer rooms and less amenities but still offers several meals throughout the day. The owner, referred to as “the innkeeper,” typically lives on the premises.
  • Bed & Breakfasts – Similar to an inn but with even fewer rooms, typically no more than five. It also typically doesn’t offer any amenities, and the only meal available is breakfast, hence the name “bed and breakfast.” The owner, as well as their families in some cases, typically lives on the premises.

Here are the top features you should look for in bed and breakfast themes:

  • Simple (and hopefully) Customizable Homepage Layouts
  • A Booking/Reservation Function
  • Custom Post Types/Page Templates
  • Features You Expect to See in Any Modern Theme

Homepage Layouts – The themes in this collection come with what are known as “pre-made homepage layouts” or “demos” that can be installed with a few simple clicks. They speed up the development process by giving you a completed design. They should be well-designed landing pages simple enough to showcase a single establishment. A traditional hotel theme may be bloated with too many features meant to support a large chain of hotels.

Booking/Reservation Function – Websites can’t just look good. They also need to serve a function. Make sure the theme you choose has a built-in booking/reservation function or comes with support for one at the very least.

Custom Post Types/Page Templates – This isn’t a necessary feature, but it’s still nice to have. Custom designs for each room is part of the charm bed and breakfasts have to offer. Custom post types and/or page templates allow you to build pages that showcase different rooms with ease.

Additional Features – A responsive design that’s optimized for mobile devices, SEO, clean code and a theme options panel are all features you should expect to see in any theme premium theme you purchase.

Final Thoughts

Bed and breakfast themes are niche WordPress themes, so you’re better off finding a hotel theme that’s scaled down enough to be used to showcase a single establishment. You should be using the website to convert casual browsers into guests, so a booking function of some sort is a very important feature to watch out for.

Think of the rooms and amenities you or your client needs to showcase, and narrow the list down to a few select themes that would showcase them best.
