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.
