It is the second best hotel in the Houston Downtown area. The volume is relatively mini. But the Chinese are used to living in four- and five-star hotels in China, so this place is not good. It is a few steps away from Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase. Also, several Marriott hotel foyers in the area look very lowser. The next time I come to Houston, I will only stay at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Nice hotel and location. But 55 dollars a night for valet is a bit outrageous. The car only goes in a gate outside in the middle of the hotel. I didn’t think it was a high end valet.

It was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve had. The staff was very attentive and proactive to guest needs.

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.

The Lancaster is top notch. Excellent place to stay when visiting the downtown Houston area. The rooms are both comfortable and luxurious.

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.

We always have a great time at the Lancaster. The breakfast is pretty disappointing though and has been the last couple of times that we have stayed here, they need more options maybe a nice egg white omelette and fresh bread products because the bread is always so dry.
