The Lafayette, Hotel, Swim Club & Bungalows offers travelers a true sense of San Diego culture and history. Located in the trendy and up and coming neighborhood of North Park, the hotel is only 1 mile from Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo, and a short drive to both downtown and the beaches. With an eclectic collection of rooms, dining options, and amenities the Lafayette is not your typical California boutique hotel but certainly one of San Diego's best kept secrets.
