Loved the hotel and area and staff. We are local and this was a surprise night out with my wife. Unfortunately 1 hour after check in our sitter called with an emergency with our child. We had to leave and didn’t get to enjoy our stay. Me and my wife met while working for Marriott. I am not the type to ask for a refund but the hotel was not full and considering we were there such a short period of time it would have been nice if they would have offered a partial refund. I know I would have without question. But as a Marriott Diamond member it would not of even been a question. I would 100% stay again just wish more could have been done during a time of emergency.

The Best Hotel in the Houston Arts District

The property is lovely and well situated in the arts district. I will always stay here when attending the Houston Grand Opera. The restaurant offers a good selection of small and large plates with servers providing recommendations that I have greatly appreciated. The complimentary breakfast buffet has better quantity and quality than most other hotels' similar amenity. The free snacks are unparalleled and promptly replenished daily. The Bulgari toiletries are quite the luxe touch. And congratulations to whoever runs the HVAC which is never too hot or too cold: just right!

Exquisite concierge. As a treat (for us) this was an experience. The room was dated, but only in the way that it fits the era of the Lancaster. Everything was meticulously maintained and clean.

Elegant, quaint and well located in downtown Houston. The 1926 hotel is beautiful and well maintained. The breakfast which was included in our stay was fabulous with plenty of options. Also, free in room snacks were replenished daily. There are many walkable close by restaurants, however, they have a restaurant and bar on site.
