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 they way they want to do them.”
Locally Inspired Arrival and Interiors
Upon entering the hotel driveway, a commissioned, three-dimensional
metal sculpture depicts a bird’s eye view of the Houston bayou and
welcomes guests to Hyatt Regency Houston Galleria. Original artwork
throughout the hotel follows a geological theme while paying tribute to
the oil industry and its workers; additionally, local Houston artists
created several one-of-a-kind pieces throughout the hotel. The front
desk is a focal point, displaying another three-dimensional metal
sculpture inspired by the shape of geodes. To connect the first and
second floors, a grand staircase of exposed steel with walnut stair
threads and soaring diagonal wood posts pierces through the second floor.
Functional Guestrooms
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. Guestroom design and concepts are inspired by
elements of the oil and gas industry with built-in furnishings that
offer a more spacious and modern aesthetic. Each room comes standard
with a 55” flat-screen television with plug-and-play capabilities from
personal devices, free high-speed Internet access, mini-fridge,
coffeemaker and a signature Hyatt Grand Bed®.
