The Lancaster Hotel is the best choice for those visiting the performing arts venues in downtown Houston. The Houston Symphony and Alley Theater (hosting theatrical productions) are literally across the street. The Houston Grand Opera (hosting six major operating productions each year) and the Houston Ballet are two blocks away. The Hobby Center hosting larger theatrical productions is just a few blocks away. There are restaurants nearby, including Cultivated F B in the hotel, and major museums including the world-class Museum of Fine Arts are available in the museum district easily accessible by the light rail system.
