It is always nice to take a moment in your busy life to relax and get away with the family. So on Easter weekend we had the wonderful opportunity to stay at the DoubleTree Hotel & Suites Houston by the Galleria.
DoubleTree Hotel & Suites Houston by the Galleria is located 30 to 45 minutes from Hobby and George Bush Intercontinental airports. There are a plethora of delicious restaurants, with lots of fun popular attractions nearby. Of course you will be one block away from the Galleria Mall which has over 400 shopping and dining places. You know I definitely like that.
As we drove by the main entrance of the DoubleTree Hotel & Suites Houston by the Galleria, we had a chance to admire the beautiful palm trees at the front entrance which provided a very inviting atmosphere to the hotel. We immediately found a parking space and walked up to the main entrance of the hotel.
The check in time was 3:00 pm and we were greeted by two friendly attendants. We provided them with our room confirmation number, received the room card and we were given a complimentary tin full of chocolate chip cookies. My kids were delighted and couldn’t wait to try them out. They even informed us about their outdoor pool, and both of my kids got excited. My kids are fascinated with the elevators, so they each wanted to press the button to our hotel room floor.
We finally arrived in our Hotel room, and we all were mesmerized by the suite. The suite had two luxurious queen beds, and includes a kitchen and balcony. Yes, my kids were so excited that they started to walk through the entire suite immediately.
As you walk through the main door of the suite to your right you will find the kitchen which includes microwave, coffee maker, Full-Size Refrigerator, Oven and Stove. Plus, DoubleTree Hotel & Suites Houston by the Galleria provide you with plates, pots, glasses and utensils. I was very excited about having the kitchen, because when you are traveling with kids, especially mine, they tend to want to snack periodically throughout the day and it is nice to have a refrigerator to hold necessary items such as juice, milk, fruit and so on to keep the kids happy. And since it is a full kitchen you can pretty much accomplish anything in it.
Then you have a seating area with a Sofa Sleeper, Dining Table and Chairs, 37 inch LCD Flat Panel HD TV and Ergonomic Desk Chair. Yes, all that in that area. My husband loves the sofa sleeper and the extra TV, since he enjoys watching his games. This way everyone could watch what they wanted.
We had a chance to step on to the balcony and the view was impeccable and very mesmerizing.
At night it was even more beautiful, to see the lights glittering throughout the city. It was just like a page from a magazine.
The room included 2 queen beds, with a TV, comfortable chair, small side table, and a lovely view from the bedroom as well.
The bathroom was nice, bright, clean and refreshing to look at.
The kids wanted to take a tour of the outdoor pool, but there was a light cold breeze. However, that didn’t stop the kids from enjoying the pool. The hotel has fresh towels on hand so you do not have to worry about bringing your own towels. Which was a relief since we forgot ours in the hotel room. We ended up meeting a few other people there and it was really fun.
After swimming we headed back into the hotel room, and decided to order some room service. I must say, it was absolutely delicious.
The kids wanted to visit the Galleria which was a block away from the DoubleTree Hotel & Suites Houston by the Galleria. My daughter went ice-skating with my husband, while me and my son visited the Lego store and the kids play area.
The kids had fun at the Galleria mall and said they definitely wanted to come again. They couldn’t believe all the fabulous stores.

This is great! My family and I are making a trip to Houston in about a month so we are looking for for family friendly hotels. This hotel looks really nice. The pool looks really nice. My kids love to swim so this would be really fun for them. Great review!
You are right the room is really fantastic! The beds look very comfortable and the view is amazing! Nice pictures!
First of all you have a beautiful family! I live in Dallas but husband usually comes to Houston for business and we always try to find hotels close to the galleria mall. To give the kids a place to go to. I definitely like the kitchen myself because it helps with the cost instead eating out a lot. It definitely look inviting and love the seating areas.
Beautiful main entrance! I love the simple yet elegant suite! You described your experience very comfortable and it looks like your family had a lot of fun!
