Perfect Anniversary Celebration at The Lancaster
We celebrated our 18th anniversary at The Lancaster Hotel and it was an unforgettable experience! Our room was elegant and comfortable, and the on-site restaurant served an exquisite dinner that we thoroughly enjoyed. The hotel’s location was ideal for exploring the area, making it easy to enjoy nearby attractions. Overall, The Lancaster Hotel exceeded our expectations and provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration. We can’t wait to return for future anniversaries! Thank you for making our stay so memorable!

I would have gladly given all excellent and 5 stars but the air conditioning is super load and comes on for a few minutes it seemed like off and on all night long. The fan makes a lot of noise. Thankfully the room stayed cool but it was very loud and hard to sleep

A must!
The Lancaster has become our go to hotel for my partner and I when attending an event in the theater district. Its absolutely gorgeous with its rich history and the attentiveness of the staff is a HUGE cherry on top. The staff is incredibly courteous and always available to assist. The fact that all the theaters are within walking distance is a plus.
