Treat this as the Galleria backup to JW Marriott and Hyatt Regency. A day pass for non-guests is sold on houstonchronicle.com, but the price isn't shown there.

The pool

The pool is a rooftop pool at The Westin Galleria Houston, on the Westside. Food and drinks are sold in the pool area. The hotel doesn't publish a floor, views, or a day-pass price in the facts we can state.

Our take

Two Galleria hotels on our list publish more: JW Marriott ($25, heated) and Hyatt Regency ($25, rooftop bar). Westin Galleria sits below them because there is less to go on.

Its sister, Westin Houston, Memorial City, publishes a floor (18th) and a $50 price. Here you buy the pass first and learn the cost then. Worth it if you are already staying nearby.

Good to know

  • Heated pool
  • Food and drinks sold in the pool area
  • Day pass available to non-guests

The catches

  • Day-pass price isn't shown
  • Floor and views aren't published

Best forGalleria-area visitors already near the Westin who want a pool with food and drinks on site.

Getting in

Staying guests can swim. Non-guests buy a day pass sold on houstonchronicle.com, and the price isn't shown there.

The hotel doesn't publish its access rules in full, so check age limits and hours before you go.

Tips

  • Compare the day-pass price here with JW Marriott and Hyatt Regency, both $25, before you buy.

Before you go. Ask the hotel about age limits and hours, since neither is published here.
