HOUSTON
Hyatt Hotels Corporation and Songy HighRoads announced the opening of Hyatt Regency Houston Galleria. The hotel, managed by Aimbridge Hospitality, marks the ninth Hyatt-branded hotel to open in the Houston area.
Its convenient location next to Texas' largest shopping center, The Galleria, and choice of in-hotel amenities that put guests in the driver seat—from grab-and-go or sit-down dining options to meeting spaces for groups of all sizes—aim to make Hyatt Regency Houston Galleria a one-stop experience.
The hotel is part of the 7.6-acre, mixed-use Galleria Plaza development, which includes high-end retail and specialty stores, luxury apartments and several recently completed office towers. The development will also include Hyatt Place Houston Galleria, adjacent to Hyatt Regency Houston Galleria. The Hyatt Place hotel is currently under construction and is expected to open in early 2016.
"We are delighted to welcome guests and the local community to our new hotel, located in the heart of one of Houston's fastest growing neighborhoods and premiere shopping destinations," said Area Manager Adam Patenaude. "Here, travelers can leave every detail to our dedicated hotel team, so they are free to break from routine if they choose or simply do things the way they want to do them."
Hyatt Regency Houston Galleria features 325 rooms, including 20 suites and eight accessible rooms, designed to meet the needs of both business and leisure travelers. Guest room design and concepts are inspired by elements of the oil and gas industry with built-in furnishings.
Hyatt Regency Houston Galleria features more than 11,000 square feet of functional space and an additional 7,800 square feet of lobby and gathering space. The 10 private meeting rooms offer sound, high-speed Internet access, telephones and various electrical and audio outlets, as well as custom lighting features. Six of the rooms are also equipped with 70" flat-screen televisions.
The Urban Star restaurant, bar and market features seasonal menus using local ingredients to create dishes that embody the flavors of Texas and the rich tradition of southern hospitality. The first-floor restaurant features seasonally changing menus showcasing foods from Texas.
On the third floor of Hyatt Regency Houston Galleria is a heated, outdoor swimming pool and spacious sun deck available for lounging and relaxation. The area can also serve as an upscale, fun space for special events. Adjacent to the pool on the third story is a StayFit gym.
