HAT Member Info
Bed & Breakfast Inns ONLINE The website that you are viewing of the Historic Accommodations of Texas (HAT) is provided by Bed & Breakfast Inns ONLINE (BBOnline). BBOnline supports state innkeeper associations. HAT is one of 31 state innkeeper associations on BBOnline (for a complete list please click here).

The HAT BBOnline site was launched on April 17, 2003. The HAT BBOnline site includes an introduction page and 8 regional pages where the member inns are referenced:

Every HAT member receives a free state innkeeper association page on BBOnline if they are not a current BBOnline member. The free association page includes:
  • name of inn
  • location of inn
  • "tagline" - short description of inn (up to 124 characters in length)
  • description field (couple of paragraphs)
  • Contact info, including:
    • physical address
    • mailing address, if different
    • phone numbers
    • email address
    • innkeeper names

Viewers can also find your free association page by using BBOnline's city navigation system. Starting at the Texas state directory page: ( www.bbonline.com/tx/ ) viewers can click on cities to view:

    B&Bs located in that city

When you need to have your free association page updated with new information please email changes to associations@bbonline.com
