Star Service "In the Arts District within the Central Business District, two blocks south of Canal Street and the French Quarter, this was one of the early boutique-hotels in this hotel-rich part of town." Full review
Gayot "Situated on a side street in the Central Business District between Canal and Poydras Streets, this hotel is sometimes forgotten among the neighborhood's upscale lodgings."

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."

The Telegraph7.0
"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
