Is it the right fit?
Adults-only houses are generally calmer than a bar with rooms, which makes them a good choice if sleep matters as much as the nightlife. If Lawrence House is full or not quite right, the nearest alternatives by walking time are Chaps Hotel, Lu-Lu's Cabaret Lounge, Peek-a-Booze; the stays directory compares them all.
