We love this hotel and it’s bar. Only complaint is the bartenders. ALWAYS have to flag them down for another cocktail they act as if stocking the bar is their priority.

The Lancaster Hotel is a true gem. From its outstanding customer service and prime location to its exceptional quality and elegant design, it’s a place you’ll want to experience. The rooms were impeccably clean, and the complimentary wine at check-in, along with the thoughtful in-room amenities, added a special touch. The valet service was also top-notch, making the stay even more enjoyable.

Truly THE Place to Stay in Houston
The staff are the most welcoming people and I look forward to seeing them again in the coming year. My favorite amenity is the snack drawer with free drinks, candy, cookies, and chips that are replenished daily. The hotel restaurant is equally outstanding and makes single diners feel right at home.

I wish every hotel was like this. Clean, comfortable, and quiet. It's the same every time we stay. We know we are going to enjoy it and it does not disappoint. What really sets this hotel apart is the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff. From the first valet that opens your door, to the doorman, the front desk, the bartenders and waiters, housekeeping, etc. - everyone is smiling, professional and so helpful if you need anything. We don't like to stay anywhere else when we come to Houston.

Great hotel, perfect location, yummy food & drinks
This hotel is a gem. The rooms are lovely. The fridge is full of drinks and good snacks. The bar/restaurant is top notch. The breakfast is included and like those a fine European hotel would offer. Staff is great. Five stars all the way! And the location...just a block from the symphony hall and opera house...wow!
