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.

Property is great and the amenities and snacks that are complimentary were great. However they only checked me in almost at 4PM and only because I went to ask how far they were with my room and check in time is at 3! Did not offer me even a glass of water or anything while I was waiting. The staff is rude! And overall not a great stay…. I would not be here again

This is such a beautiful property. The location is wonderful, right in the heart of the art district and walkable to restaurants, shows, and street art. The amenities are great!- breakfast, gym, in room snacks and nespresso coffee, on site art gallery, and welcome Champagne. I am marking them down because you can hear everything in the room. There was a car alarm that went off for 2 or more hours and it was from the valet parking area. It went off so long that my brain made it a permanent sound. You could also hear the showers from other rooms, doors closing, everything. It was so terrible that I did not get a good night of sleep and I woke up with a headache. If I do stay again I would bring my noise machine and/or earplugs.
