Straddling the 610 Loop at the intersection of Post Oak Rd. and Westheimer, The Galleria is the largest mall in Texas – fourth largest in the U.S. -- and its concentration of modern upscale hotels, fine restaurants and sophisticated shopping venues have a distinct cosmopolitan feel. The multi-faceted jewel of west Houston serves as the flagship for many retailers, and is the backbone for thousands of jobs and support services. Home to many local upscale designers and boutiques, including Ala Moda, Brass Boot, Carroll Paris, De Gala, Grazia, Obecca, Sara Lasier, Velleriano Italy and many others.
