Fodor's Expert Review Buchanan Lofts

These five rooms inside a refurbished building that once was the first department store in Lafayette are like seriously stylish apartments—each has a different layout, but they're all quite spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows, lots of exposed brick, and streamlined, minimalist furnishings. Each room has a huge flat-screen TV, and most also have full kitchens (so you can try your hand at Cajun cooking) and a washer and dryer.
