"It was easy to pretend that you were at resort somewhere besides Galveston. The pool and outside area was so beautiful. The staff from out by the pool, in the restaurants, the front desk, valet parking, to the cleaning staff were all very friendly and helpful."

Historic Downtown 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.
