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.
