Royal Sonesta Hotel Houston

Having changed management in late 2012 from InterContinental to Royal Sonesta, the hotel has a new vibe. The contemporary, 23-story structure is a favorite for society functions, with a large well-appointed ballroom. For those not in the mood to drive home, an executive level room or suite gets complimentary breakfast, cocktail hour, lunch and dinner snacks and drinks, as well as valet service, turndown service, high-end television and stereo equipment and incredibly spacious bathrooms.
