Hotel Galvez, Historic beachfront hotel in Galveston, United States.

The Hotel Galvez features 226 rooms in Mission Revival architectural style with Spanish Revival elements along the Texas Gulf Coast seawall.

The construction of Hotel Galvez in 1911 came after the devastating 1900 hurricane, marking Galveston's determination to rebuild with stronger infrastructure.

Named after Bernardo de Galvez, the Spanish colonial governor, the hotel reflects the rich Spanish heritage of the Texas Gulf Coast region.

The Grand Galvez Resort contains multiple dining venues, a full-service spa, swimming pools, and event spaces accommodating up to 500 guests.

During World War II, the United States Coast Guard temporarily occupied the entire hotel, converting it from tourist accommodations to military operations.
