A must!
The Lancaster has become our go to hotel for my partner and I when attending an event in the theater district. Its absolutely gorgeous with its rich history and the attentiveness of the staff is a HUGE cherry on top. The staff is incredibly courteous and always available to assist. The fact that all the theaters are within walking distance is a plus.

We have stayed here a few times and it’s always been great. Rooms aren’t huge, but well appointed and the service is always amazing. We don’t stay anywhere else in downtown Houston.

The ambience of this posh small lovely hotel was hip yet classic. Very clean, polite staff and informative valet service, higher end complimentary breakfast is a must have, easy walking distance to a night life, parks, shopping, arts , music and food. Be informed of the cancellation policy before you book just in case you need it.
