Overview

Known as "Queen of the Gulf," Hotel Galvez & Spa is an iconic property gracing the Texas coastline for over 100 years. Attracting both couples and families, this AAA 4-Diamond hotel is across the street from the beach where "there’s no sign of the area’s rowdy spring-break scene" (Travel + Leisure).

Celebrating the building's original architecture, guestrooms are on the smaller side, but their amenities "are as modern as they come" (U.S. News) and include complimentary Wi-Fi, docking stations and Simmons Smart Beds.

Named one of the Top 100 Brunch Restaurants in America by OpenTable diners, Galvez Bar & Grill is the go-to for local seafood and a renowned Sunday Champagne Brunch. Guests can enjoy poolside cocktails and Texas-style bites at the seasonal swim-up bar and grill.

A full menu of services is available at the tranquil day spa, but the true hub of relaxation is the expansive saline pool with a whirlpool and plenty of recliners.

To explore off-site attractions, the hotel offers bicycle rentals and a courtesy shuttle to the Strand Historic District and Pier 21.

From the press:
  • "The real star of the hotel is the staff, who provide friendly and accommodating southern hospitality" -- Oyster.com

Great location for views and ease of walking to things. Staff was great and pool was small but usuable for the kids. Will go back for sure with the price we paid.

It’s a beautiful hotel and we enjoyed our stay. The only thing I found to be a little strange was the button on the nightstand turned off all of the lights, including the lights in the bathroom, which I discovered when my boyfriend was in the shower. I may have given a mild heart attack.

The atmosphere at the hotel was wonderful and laid back. We used the complimentary bicycles to ride down the sea wall. The Sunday lunch buffet at the Galvez was awesome!! The staff was super polite and helpful. They also have a great pool and hot tub. We will definitely go back again!
