Here sun and surf meet century-old splendor.
Be epic. At the historic Hotel Galvez, expect just a little more of everything. More history. More sunny Galveston days. More enjoyment. This gracious Galveston hotel was built in 1911 and after a multi-million dollar restoration; it still maintains so much of its original charm. Outside you'll notice a sweeping circular drive and plantings similar to those found in the early 1900s. Inside you'll see lovely gold leaf topped columns, a mahogany ceiling and period stenciling. These details are part of what earned this property the name, "Queen of the Gulf". In fact, we are steps away from the magnificent Gulf of Mexico here in historic Galveston. The Hotel Galvez is a smoke-free property and we're proud to say we've earned a coveted Four-Diamond Rating by AAA.
