I booked my room online less than 24 hours before I arrived and was thrilled to get it. The women at the desk were very welcoming when I arrived. The breakfast was very satisfying. I was able to walk to the Wortham Center for the Sunday matinee opera (but would not have wanted to do that at night after the Saturday evening performance. I would easily book the Lancaster again.

My mom and I always have a wonderful stay! The staff is very courteous and attentive, and the hotel itself is always impeccably clean and inviting. We really love its boutique-style interior and European-inspired façade, which makes us feel like we’re not even in Texas!

Stayed here for our wedding anniversary and the stay was wonderful. Loved the location in the theater district and there are a number of 24 garages around the area if you don’t want to valet. This one comes with a wholehearted recommendation

This hotel is gorgeous. The location is magical. The breakfast is delicious. The rooms are incredibly nice, spacious and comfortable. The best part? Every single member of the hotel staff acted like they absolutely loved working there and were so happy to have you stay there. We were waited on hand and foot by a truly joyful staff. I have never experienced anything like it before in my life. We will never stay anywhere else again when we travel to Houston.

We had a short overnight stay, but everything was almost perfect. The only complaint I have is that the mattress was quite firm. Otherwise, service, views, and the room itself was very well done.
