Every detail is perfect at the Lancaster. I’ve stayed many times over the years and forget just how good it is, from free snacks in the room to a delicious full breakfast, down to the small details like Frette towels, Bulgari soaps and a beautiful art collection. Convenient location and friendly staff. Highly recommend.
