A really great place with lots of personality. A terrific neighborhood with lots of walkable restaurants and unique shops. Restaurants at the hotel are quite good as well. Weekends have a more celebratory vibe so pace yourself accordingly.

It had a gorgeous atmosphere with my favorite 24 hr diner. It was the holidays so it was extremely busy, especially since they decked out the place, so room service wasn’t available. No phone in the room for room service and if you tried calling through their online number, they wouldn’t answer. Other than that it was absolutely amazing.

What an incredible hotel!
What a beautiful hotel! From the lobby, to the eating areas, to the pool, to the rooms, every detail was thoughtful and meticulous. You really feel like you have been transported! I was there over the weekend, and it got quite lively, but it wasnt so noisy that it kept be awake or bothered me, but if you are a light sleeper, that is something to think about. The beds and sheets were sooo comfortable though. I just about melted into them once I laid my head on the pillow. It was also amazing to have all of those food options availiable right at the hotel. It really did check all of the boxes, and i would definitely stay here again!

Not my kind of place. It’s more of a nightclub with rooms, which were very small, kitschy, with no ventilation fan in the bathroom. Which actually was very roomy.

Extremely unique and thoughtful property! Lots of nuances and things to appreciate at this property, which really is the antithesis of corporate brands. Definitely something to experience for yourself. As the property really is busy and hopping, make sure to plan all of your dining reservations in advance, especially during the holiday season.

An Artist’s Dream
Incredible stay for a fun or romantic weekend. We celebrated our anniversary here as a staycation (we live in Orange County) and I could not stop obsessing over every detail of this property. The room, the multiple bars, the entertainment (comedy club and bowling!), the food, the pool… all 10/10. Every corner is picturesque. But most impressive is the fact that the quality goes beyond the photos. Diner food was *chefs kiss*, cocktails were perfect, morning iced latte from the lobby was delicious, and I’m still thinking about the chicken skewers at the pool. Would recommend for couples, girl’s weekend, or just about anything.

If could give the hotel a 4.75 instead of 5 stars I would only because I feel that hotel guests should get some perks for staying at the hotel such as shorter lines for ordering a cocktail (lines are really long) at their beautiful bars.... that being said that's the only recommendation I would have for the Lafayette. Property is beautiful and the holiday decorations are amazing. I highly recommend. Will have a staycation during the summer because the pool area looks amazing.

One of the most unique and amazing hotel experiences of a lifetime! I simply don't have the words to suitably describe and capture the authentic originality of the hotel. Every detail purposely placed and made for us to experience. It was a true joy to stay here for our honeymoon.

It’s a neat place. It’s a party hotel for sure. Rooms are odd but in keeping with the New Orleans theme. No room service. No Kleenex in the rooms unless you ask. Comfortable bed. No room safe. Was a neat experience but likely not stay there again.
