San Jacinto

Galveston

One of our favorite little weekend getaways is a quick 45 minute drive from Houston. The Hotel Galvez and Spa has been the grand hotel of the Galveston sea wall since 1911. Originally built to help Galveston tourism recover from the devastation of the great hurricane of 1900 that almost ended the life of this island city. Charming architecture, beautiful pool, great bars and amenities. Given its age and history it has more than a few ghost stories as well. The Hotel is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

I emailed hotel twice to see if we could check in early as we were traveling with two dogs and never had a response. We arrived two hours early to inquire and was told we had to pay 35$ to check in early. An older man and his grandson came in and after I had paid this ridiculous fee he pitched a ...

Hotel was very quaint and peaceful. Loved walking to my room on the second floor and being able to see the pool & the beach. The location is away from most things, but not too far that you can’t walk/ drive to something — the staff was so kind and attentive. Also most hotels stopped having variety ...
