What we love about this stay
Request a pool-facing room on the upper floor — the view down onto that mid-century pool deck framed by palms is pure golden-age California, especially around five o'clock when the light goes amber and the scene feels lifted from a Slim Aarons photograph. At Quixote, skip the dining room and eat at the bar; the chefs are more playful with off-menu bites there, and the energy is better. Mornings, claim a lounger before ten — the pool gets social fast on weekends, and the early quiet with a coffee is the Lafayette at its most elegant. University Heights is walkable and underrated for dinner if you want a second night out, but honestly, most guests never leave the grounds. That says everything.

City within a City! i had previously been to the pool bar at the lafayette and since then have wanted to stay here. and i could not have made a better choice! we had a blast, went to Lou Lous, bowling, chilled at the pool, and never really had to leave the hotel. While on the pricer side, the charm and detail in each corner of this hotel makes it a truly magical and unique place. Will definitely stay here again, recommend 10/10.
