"This is the place for those who want something more than a B&B but dislike the generic quality that comes with a chain or business-oriented hotel." Full review
Fodor's
"For those who prefer a quieter neighborhood, the elegance of St. Charles Avenue is laid out before you in this small, chic hotel—plus, you're right next to the streetcar line." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"Right on the St. Charles Avenue streetcar line, the Lafayette recalls the elegant residential hotels of an earlier era with its classic decor, friendly staff, and handsome Beaux-Arts building."
Gayot
"This 1916 Beaux-Arts building sits at the edge of Lafayette Square just outside downtown New Orleans. It is a small, nearly hidden jewel on the St. Charles Avenue streetcar line."

Star Service
"In a prime central location...this is one of the best modern boutique-hotels in the French Quarter, a smaller, subtler, more service-oriented translation of International House." Full review

Entry-level Deluxe rooms often stare out at walls and should be avoided.
Gayot
"Visitors who were dissatisfied with the old Marie Antoinetteâs frumpy appearance will be thrilled with the Hotel Le Marais --- the property was renamed after the famous Parisian neighborhood."
Jetsetter
"This chic French Quarter boutique sleep is less than a block from your Bourbon Street bender." Full review
Not For Tourists
"Unimpressive, out-of-date, and near the noisy hustle of Bourbon."
