Hotels on Galveston Island

Hotels on Galveston Island
Galveston Island, only a short 45 minute drive from the metropolis of Houston, provides an escape from the Texas heat. For those who live a little farther away, Galveston is a great beach destination for the budget-conscious. The island's accommodations are far-reaching, and Galveston's hotels provide a range of options, from the high-end resort to the old-fashioned motel.

The Hotel Galvez

The Hotel Galvez, one of Galveston's oldest and most historic hotels, offers a taste of old Texas charm overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. The Galvez opened in 1911 and although Victorian, the hotel recently unveiled a new 10,000-square-foot spa and fitness center in March 2008. The Galvez is a Historic Wyndham property.
