Gayot "This hotel is just three blocks from the tourist-crammed French Quarter and within shouting distance of the always-booked Ernest N. Morial Convention Center."
BlackBook "Hotel suites with exposed brick may not be something you're used to, but it's part of that N'awlins flavor."
Fodor's "This is a good alternative to the huge convention hotels; you're just steps from the major downtown attractions and the Convention Center, and Harrah's New Orleans Casino is a five-minute walk." Full review
Star Service "It provides a vintage warehouselike atmosphere that runs counter to the cool corporate look of the neighboring commercial giants hereabouts." Full review

"Much of the hotel still retains historic elements from the building's 19th-century past, including brick walls, wood-plank floors, and exposed piping." Full review
Travel + Leisure "This new addition to the Central Business/Arts District is certainly helping to tempt guests out of their beloved French Quarter." Full review
Jetsetter "A unique boutique gem in a historic Big Easy building, with an art-centric cultural bent." Full review

Frommer's "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."

"Everything you need" is on hand at this "beautiful" boutique, a 1916 landmark, done up in French Regency style with marble floors, antiques and mahogany."

"Air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and coffeemakers come standard in all rooms. Upgraded rooms feature balconies, and suites add living areas, mini-fridges, and microwaves." Full review

"A sense of quaintness as you walk in that immediately contrasts with the modernity of the surrounding area. It's a classy option that’s still decidedly affordable." Full review
Lonely Planet "Service is excellent and the hotel (unsurprisingly) has a loyal following." Full review
