What our guests are saying

My husband and I were thoroughly impressed with our experience at The Lancaster. The valet attendants and concierge were very kind and helpful. The meals and drinks at Cultivated were delicious. Loved the breakfast. Our stay exceeded expectations, with blackout curtains and an incredibly comfortable bed. After this experience, I doubt I'll choose another hotel in Houston for my future stays. :)
