Grand Galvez
An island landmark for over a century, Grand Galvez is the only historic beachfront hotel on the Texas Gulf Coast—and a proud recipient of the AAA Four-Diamond Award. Known as the “Queen of the Gulf,” this iconic property blends timeless elegance with contemporary comfort, making it a top destination for romantic getaways, weddings, business retreats, and family vacations.
Historic Charm, Modern Comfort
Since 1911, Grand Galvez has welcomed guests with sweeping Gulf views, gracious hospitality, and a rich legacy rooted in Galveston’s golden era. Today, you’ll find everything from a heated saline pool and full-service spa to complimentary bicycles and curated island experiences.
Dining at the Grand
The Grand Galvez culinary team serves up coastal-inspired dishes and creative cocktails across three standout spaces:
- Monarch – Signature dining with Gulf Coast flavors and elegant atmosphere
- The Founders Bar – Classic cocktails and small plates in a refined setting
- Poolside Service – Light bites and drinks served in the sun or under the palms
Exclusive Beach Club
Guests can enjoy the only private beach club on Galveston Island, complete with shaded loungers in signature pink-and-green fabric, beachside food and drink service, and a relaxing, upscale vibe just steps from the shore.
