Sleep like royalty at the Queen of the Gulf

Built in 1911 this is the only historic hotel in Galveston standing on its original site. Step into one of our 224 guestrooms and you'll understand why this property was dubbed the Queen of the Gulf nearly 100 years ago. You'll be welcomed by so much more than period beauty; you'll find pillow top mattresses and 100% cotton bedding. Every hotel room offers either an island or ocean view. Scalloped sinks, full-length mirrors and marble surfaces tell you no detail was overlooked during our restoration process. It's nice to know we're a 100% smoke-free property.

ClearAir^SM Room or the Zen of a spa-type retreat - take your pick.

Spa-Inspired Rooms:
These rooms are found on an upper floor offering some of our very best views. Floor-to-ceiling showers with rainfall showerheads bring the pampering to a whole new level.

ClearAir^SM Rooms:
Some of our rooms are specially equipped to boost air quality to an unsurpassed level. These select rooms use the PURE system that includes mattress and pillow encasements that reduce dust and allergens, a state-of-the-art air purification system, and specially treated surfaces. It all adds up to an experience any guest is sure to appreciate, especially allergy sufferers.
