This is such a beautiful property. The location is wonderful, right in the heart of the art district and walkable to restaurants, shows, and street art. The amenities are great!- breakfast, gym, in room snacks and nespresso coffee, on site art gallery, and welcome Champagne. I am marking them down because you can hear everything in the room. There was a car alarm that went off for 2 or more hours and it was from the valet parking area. It went off so long that my brain made it a permanent sound. You could also hear the showers from other rooms, doors closing, everything. It was so terrible that I did not get a good night of sleep and I woke up with a headache. If I do stay again I would bring my noise machine and/or earplugs.

The hotel is stunning! It is walking distance to many of the downtown events. The staff were very attentive and engaging. There was an issue with the chain in the toilet tank and I reported it, within 10 minutes someone came to fix it. The bar was lovely, we ended each evening there with a nightcap. I highly recommend this hotel.

Perfect Anniversary Celebration at The Lancaster
We celebrated our 18th anniversary at The Lancaster Hotel and it was an unforgettable experience! Our room was elegant and comfortable, and the on-site restaurant served an exquisite dinner that we thoroughly enjoyed. The hotel’s location was ideal for exploring the area, making it easy to enjoy nearby attractions. Overall, The Lancaster Hotel exceeded our expectations and provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration. We can’t wait to return for future anniversaries! Thank you for making our stay so memorable!

I would have gladly given all excellent and 5 stars but the air conditioning is super load and comes on for a few minutes it seemed like off and on all night long. The fan makes a lot of noise. Thankfully the room stayed cool but it was very loud and hard to sleep
