History
The Galleria Plaza Hotel opened in 1977 as the second hotel in Gerald Hines's Galleria, about 500 rooms connected to the Galleria II expansion. Western International Hotels managed it from the start. That company became Westin in 1981, and the hotel took the name The Westin Galleria in 1984. It is the sister tower to the Houston Oaks Hotel of 1971, now The Westin Oaks Houston at the Galleria, and it is not the same building. The address is 5060 West Alabama.
The setting
5060 West Alabama is inside The Galleria at Uptown, with an indoor walk into the mall. Westin Oaks is the other tower, opened in 1971 on the original wing. Downtown and the Medical Center are freeway rides from here.
