The Royal Sonesta Houston Galleria

About us

At the gateway to the Uptown business district – home of the famed Galleria and a hub for premier shopping, dining and entertainment – the landmark, 485-room The Royal Sonesta Houston Galleria is an ideal place to meet, play, work and unwind in the Bayou City. Planners and attendees love the convenience of the hotel’s premier location, plus its full range of amenities and services focused on productivity and success. The AAA Four Diamond rated property features more than 50,000 square feet of renovated function space – a modern fusion of style and substance considered one of the city’s premier offerings of its kind – coupled with a team of industry veterans that are keenly aware of this market’s special needs. The Royal Sonesta Houston Galleria's dedicated event space is both meeting planner inspired and designed, and the scale is ideal for a medium-sized group to ‘own’ it. Not only does the hotel’s central site provide easy ingress/egress, but the building layout also regularly earns accolades given well-conceived load-in points, flow and flexibility. The Legends Ballroom is the largest room and can accommodate up to 1,200 attendees. Executive Chef Esteban Carvajal continues to raise the bar for a food and beverage product considered a standout given its quality, freshness, flavor and creative presentation. This is true not only for catering but on-site dining options, including Launch grab and go, Axis Lounge, ARA restaurant, unique TableOne for small groups and room service (limited hours). The brand’s Food Is Art culinary philosophy is enriched by a friendly and efficient staff. The Royal Sonesta Houston Galleria's alliance with Royal Productions provides the latest audio/visual and technical support to enhance events, galas and meeting experiences. Representatives are on premise every day to ensure requests are met in a timely, personalized and professional manner.
