The service here I’d second to none. The amenities are outstanding including an impressive breakfast buffet in elegant surroundings. If you are a lover of art and luxury, you will be at home here. Even the details such as marble floors and beautiful lighting are lovely. The staff is friendly and well versed in service excellence. We loved our stay and will return. It was a short walk to the theatre as well.

I really loved my stay at the Lancaster and was sad to leave. The hotel is located downtown and accessible to places I needed to be. Its designed well - bright, clean, smells nice, and has not interior decor. The staff from the valet to the front desk to the dining were professional, welcoming, and answered my questions and needs. And the "free" buffet breakfast was delicious - fresh fruit, deviled eggs, scrambled eggs, salmon and capers for a bagels, and much, much more.
