Comfort and Elegance in downtown Houston!
The hotel management team is top notch! We were able to check in early after a long day and night of traveling. The hotel has a home away from home feel. The location is excellent. The hotel restaurant is cozy, and elegant with great menu options for my family. We did not want to be in a large convention center hotel so the Lancaster suited our travel interests.

We had a great stay for NYE at the Lancaster. This is an old historic hotel and is in fantastic shape. The only negative is the size of the rooms and bathrooms. Petite King is a very accurate description. Staff was fantastic especially the bartender. Best cappuccino I've had in a long time.

Was here for NYE 2024. The place was clean, beautiful, and bonus for complimentary breakfast and minibar items. However, maybe they’re busier than usual, the services were slow. The breakfast stations weren’t being refilled, no one cleaned the tables, and there was one front desk staff gave me wrong information about the bar closing time. They only have 2 small elevators for both staffs and guests, and TV didn’t work properly. The place is beautiful, yes, but not worth the price per night.
