Grand Galvez

The Grand Galvez affectionately referred to as the “Queen of the Gulf” is a historic hotel that is synonymous with luxury on Galveston Island. It is located about 45 minutes from Houston Hobby Airport. This property is just across Seawall Blvd from the Gulf and just a couple blocks from Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier with picturesque midway games and rides that extend out over the water. Grab a cocktail and take in the sunset with a sea breeze from this historic, beachfront property. Oh, and it may be haunted… interest peaked!
