Hotel Galvez, A Wyndham Hotel

The Hotel Galvez - a Wyndham Historic Hotel, is a deluxe hotel located 45 minutes from Houston Hobby International Airport. A sparkling vision of Victorian elegance rising from the sand and surf, the Hotel Galvez was known as the "Queen of the Gulf" on the day she opened in 1911. For nearly a century, this charming hotel has been the choice of guests as demanding and diverse as Teddy Roosevelt, Howard Hughes and Frank Sinatra. A $9-million renovation has restored the Hotel Galvez to its rightful place as a timeless showplace on the Gulf of Mexico.
Enjoy elegant guest rooms full of delightful touches like marble bathrooms, hand decorated walls and views of the Gulf. If you need to keep in touch with the world, modern conveniences like high-speed Internet access and cordless phones make it easy. When it's time to relax, sunbathe, swim or ride horseback along the beach. Enjoy your favorite cocktail at the swim-up bar. Or head out to explore the pleasures of this historic city. The hotel is just a trolley ride away from downtown Galveston, galleries, museums and the delightful shops and restaurants of the Strand Historic District. The Hotel Galvez is convenient to fine dining, shopping and entertainment venues.
