New Orleans has been the inspiring source of a mélange of cuisines, the American art form of jazz, and a proud mix of heritages. In the heart of it all, on fashionable Saint Charles Avenue, The Lafayette Hotel is an historic landmark hotel restored to its former splendor. The unique culture that is New Orleans can be found right out the front door, or sample gourment cuisine with an emphasis on prime beef and contemporary creole at Anatole, a new, full service restaurant and bar at The Lafayette.

The Lafayette was a great hotel. It was in the perfect area and we could walk to everything and there were many restaurants and things to do nearby. It was in the perfect part of town where you weren’t far from everything that you could walk, but it was also quiet. Loved our room, the amenities were good and the staff was great. Desi steakhouse, which is on the bottom floor of the hotel was a fantastic place to eat dinner. Also only a couple of blocks from the World War II museum, which was amazing. Would definitely stay here again.

Best place to stay in New Orleans. Within walking distance to the French Quarter, Bourbon Street, and the Mississippi River Walk. The Hop on Hop off bus and the Trolley are right across the street. Away from the hustle and bustle and right next to Lafayette park. Would recommend highly.

Nice room at a good location. French quarter is about a 20 min walk from here and there are good food options nearby. Close to both party options and museum options.

Everything was great! It was amazing how you got into your room! Did not have to keep up with key cards! Open air balcony! Valet was on point!

Wonderful hotel right in the middle of everything, beside Lafayette Park right on the St. Charles streetcar line. We had a double queen room that was beautiful and spacious and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The beds, pillows, and linens were all very comfy (and I'm super picky about bedding). There is no onsite parking but there's a parking garage a block away that you can reserve space in ahead of time (Poydras Center) and the hotel has a valet if you'd prefer not to bother with finding parking (there is a fee). The staff was warm, friendly, and helpful. I highly recommend the Lafayette if you want to avoid a generic, "big-name" hotel. I would absolutely stay here again.
