My husband and I, and another couple, were down in New Orleans for JazzFest, and the Lafayette Hotel was absolutely top-notch. Very conveniently located along the St. Charles Ave streetcar line, and just blocks from the French Quarter, the hotel provides easy access to all the fun and entertainment that New Orleans has to offer. Previous reviewers have been spot-on... more

This charming, comfortable, and quiet hotel overlooks Lafayette Square on St. Charles and is a quick walk to the French Quarter. We were pleased with the amenities and staff at this boutique hotel. more

This hotel was terrible. I booked this through Travelzoo that promised a free upgrade. 1. I didn't get upgraded because they "never upgrade". 2. The AC was broken and the room was over 80 degrees.

We invited friends to join us after our arrival. When the staff was made aware, management made adjustments to... more

This hotel is Ritz Quality! The rooms are huge and comfy with great views in a safe area. We stayed in a deluxe suite for a weekend getaway without kids. The rooms are beautifully furnished. Just a quick walk to the French Quarter--5 blocks! Note these are short blocks. The service is unparralled. Michael, Kerry & Luis were friendly and... more
