The Royal Sonesta Houston Galleria Review
The comfortable 4-star Royal Sonesta Houston Galleria is nearly a 19-minute stroll from Water Wall and has an outdoor swimming pool plus a fitness club. The upscale hotel is nestled in the very heart of a museum area and offers an American restaurant.
A buffet breakfast can be enjoyed at this Houston hotel. The on-site restaurant, Ara Restaurant, serves American cuisine for breakfast. To cater to every palate, it offers a vegan menu. Guests can sample a selection of light beverages with light snacks at the 24-hour bar. You can try Italian cuisine in a restaurant which is located very close by.
Ice at the Galleria is located within 400 metres of the modern accommodation, and such natural sites as the municipal Memorial Park is 10 minutes away by car. Standing 8 minutes' walk from Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park, the smoke-free Royal Sonesta Houston Galleria is not very far from Posh fashion & home decor Shopping Mall.
The excellent property is situated at a distance of 1.3 km from Uptown Park.
Some of the 485 air-conditioned rooms at the accommodation are furnished with a sofa and a writing desk, and appointed with coffee and tea making facilities. A hot tub and a shower, together with such amenities as hair dryers and towels, are also at guests' disposal. Certain units overlook the city.
You can catch the bus at Westheimer/Galleria bus stop, within easy walking distance of The Royal Sonesta Houston Galleria.
Leisure options include a fitness centre, a health club, and a shared lounge along with chargeable facilities like a sunbathing terrace and an outdoor pool area.
