Grand Galvez Hotel

This property is featured in Historic Overnights: Galveston. The current owners have worked closely with Texas Historical Commission staff to research the history of this home and its original owners.
Built just a decade after the devastating 1900 hurricane, the Grand Galvez Hotel quickly became a symbol of Galveston's resilience, helping restore the city's reputation as a glamorous beach destination. Recently returned to its original pink color, this eight-story beachfront hotel has hosted presidents, beauty queens, military heroes, gamblers, movie stars, and entertainers.
