The Tremont House - A Wyndham Historic Hotel

Hunt for shells – or the rarest antiques.

There is so much to do while you are in Galveston at the Wyndham Tremont House Hotel that it's nearly impossible to do it all in a single trip. So we hope you'll be back to stay with us again and again. Nearby our property is the sparkling Gulf of Mexico, with all manner of water-related fun and great beaches. Take time to tour the Elissa, an 1877 tall ship at the Texas Seaport Museum. Or see one of the largest collections of all things train-related at the Galveston Railroad Museum. If sports are your passion, catch a Texans or Astros game while you're so close to Houston. Schlitterbahn Galveston Island Waterpark is known for a nonstop good time. For those who use shopping as their preferred form of cardio, check out our historic shopping district on Post Office and Strand Street. Those lucky enough to visit in June will just love experiencing Sandcastle Weekend, which draws competitors from all over all over the country.
