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 multimillion dollar restoration, it still maintains so much of its original charm. Outside you will notice a sweeping circular drive and plantings similar to those found in the early 1900s. Inside you will 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 are proud to say we have earned a coveted Four-Diamond Rating by AAA. Whether you are our guest for business or pleasure, you just cannot help but appreciate the old fashioned customer service combined with the most modern amenities. Enjoy such extras as our 10,000 square foot full service spa, and our beachfront umbrella and chair service. Of course, you can always relax in one of our comfortable guestrooms or at our heated pool, with a swim up bar. When you are ready for a meal, our own restaurant Bernardos is not to be missed. Those planning a large or small professional gathering or stylish wedding will be sure to appreciate our customizable event space, which boasts two ballrooms. There is so much to see and tons of local activities to enjoy while you are here in historic Galveston. The Gulf of Mexico is just mere steps from our door. Comb the beach for shells or head to The Strand for some one of a kind shopping. If something more active is on the agenda, head to Moody Gardens Golf Course for some time on the links. The Grand 1894 Opera House is a great place to hear music or see a live show. If you are arriving by air, William P Hobby Airport is just 45 miles away, and George Bush Intercontinental Airport is a little over an hour away by car.

First time at the Hotel Galvez

The room was small, but very nice. Bed was a pillow top and comfy. Pillows were not down, which was surprising. View was great, hotel lobby and pool were very nice. Staff was very attentive. The elect. was turned off the day after we got there from 10 am till 4 pm, not a huge deal, the a/c was working, we were just in and out. Cleaning the carpet in the lobby was a bigger deal, chemical smells give me migraines, but I got in and out quick and lucked out. All in all, it was a great stay, the tiny bathroom vanity was the biggest problem in my opinion....we'd definitely stay here again.

We love: Shrimp 'N Stuff on Mike Guido Ave and Ave O; The Original Mexican Cafe on Market; Star Drug has the best breakfasts around and for some really good, fresh shrimp, find Nate's on the West End. It's on the L hand side next to a little market and it's worth the drive out there!

Historic, classy

Great staff, clean rooms, nice pool,just an overall nice place. Rooms were small with no refrigerators or kitchen area. I would have liked bigger rooms with more amenities for the money. I give it a 8.5 on a 10 scale. I would stay again though for sure.

Special Birthday Madi Grau Weekend

We enjoyed our stay for the last weekend of Maudi Grau Glaveston. Loved the old world charm of the hotel. It was a special birthday weekend for my husband and the hotel was a very nice treat. We really enjoyed the Sunday Brunch and the live piano music in the lobby. Very relaxing and nice weekend. Will definitely stay here again. We hope to stay during the summer months to try out the lovely pool and cabanna area.

Great getaway

Weekend getaway in an historic Galveston hotel, great history and story that they could play up more. Had a king room and though comfortable I would have preferred a bigger room. We had the Sunday brunch which is not included but a great meal and worth the trip just for the brunch. Great atmosphere. Nice and courteous staff. I think the price was high for the night but would go back.

A 'suite' getaway by the sea.

Hotel Galvez is beautiful! From the moment you walk in you cannot help but be impressed and enveloped by the feeling that you just stepped back in time to when life was a bit slower, more gracious and inviting. The paddle fans barely rotating instantly put you in 'relax' mode. Southern charm mixed with Spanish Revival architecture and decor makes this hotel a sight not-to-be missed. The rooms are on the smaller side but well appointed with everything you need including a blow dryer, toiletries, coffee maker, coffee, tea and two bottles of water were a nice touch. We stayed in Room 423 that has a less than desirable view but served its purpose and then were upgraded (for free I might add) to Room 401 - just below the supposed haunted Room 501. It was a beautiful oceanfront corner room with a small walking closet and full office area. We didn't want to leave! Both beds were so comfy it was hard to get up especially with the view of the ocean we had without having to even lift our heads off the pillow. The amenities at the Hotel Galvez are top notch from Spa to Restaurant to the pool and jacuzzi area - it has it all. I enjoyed a pedicure one day and we loved the massive Sunday Brunch that happen to fall on New Year's Day. The staff are all wonderful and concierge are so sweet and informative, I wanted to take them home with us to Connecticut. The area was heavily damaged by Hurricae Ike, so be prepared. There is much rebuilding and repair yet to be done to the area that has a ways to go before it's back to its prime. Thankfully the Hotel Galvez was spared any damage. We had dinner at Fish Tales one night and lunch at the Mosquito Cafe the next day. Both were yummy. The Mosquito Cafe had a nice eclectic feel with a healthy modern menu and to-die-for mango ice tea and curry tuna salad. We also had dinner at Queens one night - which I would highly recommend if you are looking for some legit Texan BBQ and locals. We rode the bikes that are offered for free for use by the hotel. What a great little perk! We had fun peddling around the beach area with the sea breeze in our faces. The Strand offered us about two hours of entertainment with its many bars and touristy shops but nothing unique that you cannot find in any other oceanfront community. What made our visit special was beautiful romantic and haunted Hotel Galvez. We love you Hotel Galvez and we hope to visit you and Galveston again sometime soon.

Queens, Mosquito Cafe and Fish Tales are all within walking or biking distance and all offered some yummy food for two foodies who love some good eats.

We enjoyed Moody Garden's Rainforest Pyramid. We saw beautiful palm trees, orchids, and other foliage, as well as parrots, monkeys, frogs and a sloth. We also witnessed a butterfly hatching from its cocoon. The place is awesome!
