“Cozy, Old Houston charm”

When we arrived, the temperature was over 100, so there was no valets or bellhops to be found outside. Once we stepped inside, it was like a beehive had awoken. Great service from front desk to housekeeping. No ice machines, but housekeeping kept ice in our room. Big, comfortable bathroom, but room itself was a little small as are most hotels of this era. Upon our return for the evening, a valet asked if we were just staying for a bit, but we had to announce we were hotel guests. Never had that before.

“What a lovely room I had in Houston”

Very pretty room, the most luxurious linen I ever slept in, windows that open, right across the Jones Hall, and the nicest staff. Travelling in the South never disappoints.

“The only hotel we'll stay at in Houston”

We love the Lancaster - even if we can't stay overnight - we'll stop in for a drink in their wonderful cozy bar. What other hotel has live plants, fresh potpourri and always remembers you? The staff are so gracious and professional. It's the only hotel for us!

“I recommend this hotel”

I really was not expecting to like this hotel, but the staff was wonderful, my room was clean and tidy and the location was superb. I had a great stay here and recommend it to other budget travellers who appreciate an older, but clean place to lie their head.

“Beautiful Luxury Hotel in Downtown Houston”

The draw to the Lancaster is it's small size. This allows for a true luxury experience. The service is great and the discount through expedia (vs. direct) was unbelievable. Would definitly go back if deal was as good next time.
