Food is great, need to take more touch on the capuchino,service was great 👍,meat was well cooked , atmosphere after coffee and cars around the building was good, enjoyable view of architecture and cars around... At least today's weather was perfect ... That's why my coffee miss the taste but still the rest of the food was perfect

Probably the best experience I've ever had with a hotel. We stayed here for our anniversary and we truly couldn't have had a better time. Location is great, valet service was fast and efficient, and everyone on staff was kind and friendly and really make you feel like you are just staying with close friends that you've known for years. Also a bar and restaurant conveniently located inside the hotel. Breakfast was even great!They really had a hand in making our anniversary weekend that much better.100% recommend this hotel.

Picked this hotel for a weekend away from Dallas. It's only a few blocks from the big theaters and shows, and it's across the hall from the Houston Symphony building. The valet service is STELLAR, and the front desk staff we spoke with were awesome. We stayed in the Composer suite and had an amazing in suite breakfast. If I was forced to make a critical comment, it would be the elevator situation. However, this is a beautiful old building... and the few times we had to wait were not more than 7 minutes. From the valet at the front door, the bar, restaurant, front desk, and all the way up to the room... This weekend stay was exactly what we needed to recoup.

We were extremely disappointed following our stay. The valet caused significant damage to our vehicle during our one night stay. Upon check-out our vehicle was brought to us. It never occurred to me to inspect the vehicle. How many of us do, especially when leaving a luxury hotel. We drove straight home and while unpacking luggage noticed the damage to the rear bumper and side panel as if it were backed into something. We were shocked that no one reported this to us. We immediately called the hotel and was told no manager was available. When we did not receive a return call, we called back but were still not allowed to speak to management. We received an email stating it would take 5-10 days to investigate our claim which we knew was simply a run-around tactic since there were only 3 staff members working Valet during our stay so why so long. After waiting 9 days we followed up only to be told our claim was denied due to: 1."The parking entity did not have the infrastructure to cause such damage". I assume this means they park vehicles in an open field with no walls, pillars, gates, vehicles, etc. This also implies that we are lying about how the damage occurred, which is the biggest insult of all. 2. "Because we did not report the damage before leaving the facility". Which I assume is why no one reported they had damaged our vehicle and this is how they get out of their responsibility, hoping the customer doesn't notice their mistake prior to leaving. That part is stated in small print on the back of the valet ticket. But again, we thought we were staying at a place that had a high level of customer service. Obviously we were wrong. Our insurance will take care of this with no problem (estimated at $4500) but that's not the issue at hand. The lack of integrity, professionalism, and disregard for the customers concerns is the larger issue. Please be mindful when using valet as this is the only parking offered.

Great location and great history to the hotel. Our keycard didn’t work at first and thought it was me as the card reader isn’t that obvious, especially when card doesn’t work, might have been me being slow too!! But that fixed quickly, if you get a package they can include everything so you don’t get the surprise valet etc charges. Great hotel overall

I recently stayed at The Lancaster Hotel and I couldn't have been more impressed. From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. The historic charm of the hotel, built in 1926, adds an extra layer of character to the experience. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, making me feel right at home.The staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was nothing short of perfect. Special thanks to Alexis for his outstanding service and attention to detail. The hotel's location in the heart of the theatre district was also a major plus, with plenty of entertainment options just steps away.I especially enjoyed unwinding in the evenings at the hotel's cocktail lounge, indulging in delicious drinks and soaking in the elegant ambiance. Overall, my stay at The Lancaster Hotel exceeded all expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch experience in Houston. Five stars all the way!

Have stayed at the Lancaster several times, and it is a beautiful boutique hotel with generally impeccable service that is hard to find these days! For this visit we stayed at the “producers suite” and it is a beautiful, large room. However we immediately noticed a very musty smell coming from the HVAC, almost gassy smelling. The maintenance crew did come right away, it did get a little better, but then came back for the remainder of our stay. Surprisingly no one really followed up with us, if we were ok. We made it work, but given the cost of staying in such a room, I expected better.

The service here is amazing. The staff is heavily focused on satisfaction and going above and beyond. The issues I had were regarding everything else ultimately feeling like the price of the room doesn’t match what I would hope to find. As others have mentioned, the room is dated. The bathroom shower pressure is minimal and the handle twirls around. The listing noted of a fridge but the only one was the one filled with complimentary snacks. It was so small that it could not accommodate leftovers or full size drinks. Essentially everything outside of the room including the breakfast was great. The room itself was disappointing. The noise level around the room was also difficult at night. I was hoping for something more.

Wonderful room. The restaurant is nice with a good bartender, although the menu is a bit limited. Coffee service and free snacks in the rooms are great. The front desk staff was oddly distanced and not very helpful or friendly. I was there for business but would stay again for leisure.

Rooms were clean, and nice but outdated. Better lighting and ventilation are needed in the bathrooms, and the temperature in the room was all over the place. The bed was super comfy, and the guest service is top tier. We didn’t get a chance to eat in the restaurant or at the bar, but the breakfast buffet in the mornings is pretty amazing. They have fresh honeycomb, coffee, juice, bread service, eggs, you name it, it was there. The location is perfect. We nearly walked everywhere we wanted to go! Overall I highly recommend checking this place out, it was a pleasant, quiet stay.

This hotel has the most beautiful decor and interesting pictures to look at. I can literally spend an hour just walking around and admiring everything. The valet is fast and helps with luggage, opens doors, etc. I love that ZaZa offers free transportation within so many miles of the hotel. The rooms are literally the best part. Even the "basic" rooms/suites are beyond fantastic! Do yourself a favor and spend the extra amount to get one of the fancy suites on floor 11 and 12- you will not regret it!

Wonderful experience from start to departure.. every staff member was genuinely warm and accomodating. Little details at every turn make a difference from welcoming champagne and cookies to fresh water in bottles every evening… was just a most enjoyable stay for several nights

My Wife and I were celebrating our 38th Wedding Anniversary last night in Houston. I made dinner reservations at Traveler's Table and thought that it would be nice to stay nearby rather than driving home to Clear Lake. The ZaZa was perfect for it's proximity to the restaurant. We pulled into the Hotel entrance and the Valet's took care of my Wife's vehicle right away. The Valet's were actually the highlight of the entire stay! We entered and went to the front desk. We arrived around 3:20PM and check-in is 4:00PM. The person that I was talking to informed me that our room was not yet ready and that he would call me when it was. My Wife and I took the opportunity to visit the Hotel Bar to start our celebration. At the bar, there was a young man and two young ladies that were behind the bar attending to customers. I approached the bar and waited for 12 minutes before a 3rd young lady behind the bar finally waited on me. My Wife and I sat down and waited for the call for our room. About 4:15, I decided to check with the front desk again as they still had not called me. The same young man attended to us and again told me that our room was not ready yet. I asked when check-in was, to confirm, and he immediately told me that he would be right back and disappeared behind the door to the back offices. About 5 minutes passed when he and the Manager, Daisy, came back at which time she began to explain that there were different levels of rooms and then assigned us a room. I didn't care about the levels of rooms, I only thought that if I were the Manager, I would apologize and assign a room immediately! Thankful, my Wife and I went to our room. We were expecting much more, I guess. The room was about 2/3 the size of rooms at The Best Western that we stay in near the Big Texan in Amarillo, when we road trip to Colorado. The room at the ZaZa was not that much nicer! To add to that, the shower had a very slow drain and within a couple of minutes, I was standing in an inch or so of water when I showered. Also, the toilet was so close to the wall that I truly couldn't imagine anyone that was overweight being able to use it. Plus the toilet leaked/ran all night. Next time we decide that we want to stay in town, we will definitely stay elsewhere!

It was our first time staying here. The hotel was nice. For the most part, rooms are standard fare but the view to the Medical Center is amazing. The view to the pool is excellent as well but we didn't get to get an up close view.All the staff was very nice and cordial especially the valets. They might have the nicest most courteous valets I've ever encountered.Unfortunately, the experience was marred by a poor experience at The Monarch restaurant. I have already left a review for the restaurant so I won't go into it here. Thank you to the staff for making our experience good.

When we got there, we were greeted by very attentive and professional valet services. They gave us some information how their valet services worked and their other amenities such as their shuttle services. Oh my goodness, their shuttle option is awesome! They will take you anywhere within a 3 mile radius around the hotel and you just need to call them again to pick you up. We also ordered food from their restaurant and requested it to be delivered to our room. The wait on the food was quicker than I expected and all of the food which were the garlic volcano fries and the calamari was very good. The proportion of the food was good for the price and they were both very yummy! Our rooms were clean and the bed and pillows felt like heaven. We had a nice view outside of our balcony as well. All in all, this place was amazing and I would go here again and recommend this to anyone wanting a nice weekend get away to view the museums or nights out.

Located within steps of museums, park, Rice U and the zoo plus other scenic places, this is a great location. Room was a large suite with a great bathroom and shower and a fabulous view. Housekeeping service great in a long term stay. Restaurant has some great choices and a brunch available till 2 pm. All staff have great standard of service and treat you like family if you are a repeat or many day visitor so they get to know you. They have unique theme, suites which I did not see, but heard were great for special occasions. An eclectic throwback interior design sets this apart and makes for a comfortable environment I love. This is a classic Hollywood theme great hotel in Houston which is also close to the Medical centers and MD Anderson if you need that. Highly recommended.

Gorgeous eclectic hotel in a gorgeous downtown park location. Every inch of the place has been well thought out, designed, and decorated. Art and furniture are truly breathtaking. The Magnificent 7 Suite is truly a must have experience and worth whatever price they charge for it. The bed was one of the best I’ve ever slept on. Staff have trouble answering/managing phone calls & guest requests, but the managers, like Daisy are well trained and equipped to make up for it. The place certainly holds a reputation with locals - not sure if it’s good or bad, but everyone seems to know of the hotel. Pool is not really kid-oriented, but is extremely adult-friendly and peaceful. Very nice cabanas, music and poolside service. It’s like staying in a contemporary film and art museum with an exclusive lounge/nightclub atmosphere. I definitely recommend.
