Lafayette Hotel

New Orleans


Pleasant and small, this 1916 hotel is steps from Lafayette Sq and within easy walking distance of the Julia Row Arts District and the National WWII Museum. Surrounding blocks have a classic feel that’s generally lacking in the modern CBD. The rooms are furnished with dark wood, antiques and king-size beds. Bathrooms are roomy and finished in marble.

There is a one-time, nonrefundable $65 fee for pets.
