Westin Oaks Houston

The best thing about the Westin Oaks: You're right in the middle of Houston's premier shopping destination. With more than 350 stores and an abundance of new dining establishments, it's the one place in Houston where you don't need a car. Double your fun: Staying at one of the two Westin hotels attached to the mall—the Westin Galleria and the Westin Oaks—entitles the guest to perks at the other, including a social sports bar, lots of dining options and a pool at each hotel. If you’re on a business expense account, you have nothing to worry about. Otherwise bring a budget-conscious chaperone with you at all times.

 The Westin Oaks faces Westheimer; its sister hotel, the Westin Galleria, faces West Alabama.
