The 93-room Lancaster is an upscale historic property with an ideal downtown Houston location that's within easy walking distance of restaurants and nightlife, as well as businesses and entertainment venues. Rooms are elegant and have all of the comforts of home plus large flat-screen TVs and marble bathrooms. The free gourmet continental breakfast is a fine start to the day and there is an on-site restaurant that serves all meals. However, guests looking for a pool should consider Magnolia Hotel Houston, a nearby historic property.
