We love this hotel and it’s bar. Only complaint is the bartenders. ALWAYS have to flag them down for another cocktail they act as if stocking the bar is their priority.

Truly THE Place to Stay in Houston
The staff are the most welcoming people and I look forward to seeing them again in the coming year. My favorite amenity is the snack drawer with free drinks, candy, cookies, and chips that are replenished daily. The hotel restaurant is equally outstanding and makes single diners feel right at home.

The Lancaster is a beautiful hotel located in a very convenient spot downtown. Rooms are spacious and well appointed. Enjoyed the bar as well with a delicious dirty martini! Highly recommend

I wish every hotel was like this. Clean, comfortable, and quiet. It's the same every time we stay. We know we are going to enjoy it and it does not disappoint. What really sets this hotel apart is the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff. From the first valet that opens your door, to the doorman, the front desk, the bartenders and waiters, housekeeping, etc. - everyone is smiling, professional and so helpful if you need anything. We don't like to stay anywhere else when we come to Houston.

Beautiful hotel. Service was excellent - the front desk was professional and granted me a late check out. It’s probably the nicest hotel in Houston.

Great hotel, perfect location, yummy food & drinks
This hotel is a gem. The rooms are lovely. The fridge is full of drinks and good snacks. The bar/restaurant is top notch. The breakfast is included and like those a fine European hotel would offer. Staff is great. Five stars all the way! And the location...just a block from the symphony hall and opera house...wow!

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.
