Buchanan Lofts
Full apartment living, a short walk from downtown Lafayette.
A place to stay in Lafayette
Buchanan Lofts is a 3-star hotel in Lafayette, Louisiana, built around two-bedroom apartments rather than standard hotel rooms. Each unit sleeps up to six and comes equipped with a full kitchen — stovetop, oven, dishwasher, microwave, and kitchenware included — so longer stays or group trips don't require eating out every night. Free on-site parking and in-unit laundry (washing machine and tumble dryer) keep the practical side covered. The property has 35 guest reviews and holds a 4.3/5 rating.
Who this stay suits
Spacious apartment-style rooms with proper kitchens and free parking, in a walkable part of Lafayette close to restaurants, bars, and downtown landmarks.
Best for
- Small groups or families needing extra space
- Extended stays where self-catering matters
- Travelers wanting free parking in downtown Lafayette
- Anyone who prefers a residential feel over a standard hotel room
Less suited to
- Solo travelers who don't need apartment-scale space
- Those wanting on-site dining or bar facilities
Full kitchens in every apartment
Every unit has a stovetop, oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, coffee machine, and a full set of kitchenware. The dining area fits the whole group, and a washing machine with tumble dryer means you can pack lighter for a longer stay.
Two-bedroom apartments with city views
The apartments include a separate living area with a sofa, seating area, and desk, plus flat-screen TV. City views come standard. It's a proper apartment layout, not a hotel room with a kitchenette tucked in the corner.
Free on-site parking
On-site parking is free and available to all guests. In a downtown Lafayette location where street parking can be competitive, having a dedicated spot included in the rate is a practical advantage worth noting.
