Strand Historic District

The Strand Historic District whisks you back to 1800s Galveston with its Victorian mansions and cobblestone streets. Horse-drawn carriages clip-clop past beautifully preserved storefronts that somehow survived America's deadliest hurricane. Art galleries, antique shops, and the Grand 1894 Opera House give you plenty to explore while gas-lit streetlamps create a magical evening atmosphere. Seafood restaurants serve fresh Gulf catches in historic Victorian buildings, while pubs offer casual fare with harbor views. Choose between charming bed & breakfasts in converted mansions or boutique hotels with ornate period furnishings. The compact six-block area is perfect for walking, with the waterfront just three blocks away.

The Bishop's Palace, also known as Gresham's Castle, is an ornate Victorian-style house, located on Broadway and 14th Street in the East End Historic District of Galveston, Texas. #Architecture

East End

Step back in time as you wander the East End's tree-lined streets showcasing Galveston's stunning Victorian architecture. The Strand Historic District dazzles with 19th-century buildings that weathered the famous 1900 hurricane. History buffs will love exploring Bishop's Palace and the Grand 1894 Opera House, while maritime museums reveal the island's seafaring past. Fresh Gulf seafood dominates local restaurant menus, from upscale dining in restored Victorian buildings to casual coastal eateries. Most accommodations are charming bed & breakfasts in converted mansions offering personalized service. The neighborhood is best explored on foot or via trolley tours that connect major historic sites.

One of our favorite little weekend getaways is a quick 45 minute drive from Houston. The Hotel Galvez and Spa has been the grand hotel of the Galveston sea wall since 1911. Originally built to help Galveston tourism recover from the devastation of the great hurricane of 1900 that almost ended the life of this island city. Charming architecture, beautiful pool, great bars and amenities. Given its age and history it has more than a few ghost stories as well. The Hotel is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

San Jacinto

San Jacinto showcases Galveston's rich history through well-preserved Victorian cottages and the impressive Art Deco San Jacinto Building that survived the 1900 hurricane. Tree-lined streets with Spanish moss create a peaceful retreat from bustling tourist areas. Visitors can easily explore East End Historic District, Lost Bayou, and the nearby Seawall Beach for authentic island charm. Family-owned cafes serve fresh Gulf seafood and Tex-Mex in this walkable neighborhood. Charming bed-and-breakfasts in restored Victorian homes offer the perfect base for your island adventure. Though public transit is limited, abundant street parking and flat, bike-friendly terrain make getting around a breeze.

West End

The West End of Galveston serves up quintessential Gulf Coast magic with miles of sugar-white beaches waiting for your footprints. Jamaica Beach, Bermuda Beach, and Sea Isle Beach offer perfect spots to wiggle your toes in the sand or try your luck at fishing. The 2,000-acre Galveston Island State Park delivers nature trails where bird watchers can spot over 280 species. Beach houses on stilts and low-rise condos dot the shoreline, most offering dreamy Gulf views and direct beach access. Casual seafood joints serve fresh-caught fare, though you'll need a car to explore this spread-out area. The constant sea breeze, seagull calls, and spectacular sunrises make the West End worth every sandy step.

Jamaica Beach

Jamaica Beach offers sun-soaked shores and refreshing Gulf waters just west of Galveston's busier areas. Beach lovers can wiggle their toes in the sand, cast a fishing line, or paddle out on a kayak adventure. The peaceful residential vibe creates the perfect backdrop for families wanting a low-key coastal getaway without the tourist crowds. Vacation rental homes and condos with full kitchens make up most of the lodging options here. Getting around requires your own wheels since public transit is limited. Most visitors cook meals at their rentals, though a quick drive puts Galveston's restaurants and shops within easy reach.

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Galveston

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Galveston is during January, February, and December, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For those looking to explore the city’s key landmarks and cultural attractions, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days would be ideal. This duration allows visitors to enjoy the beautiful beaches, partake in excursions to nearby islands, savour fresh seafood, and appreciate the local gardens. Additionally, you can immerse yourself in the vibrant festivals and indulge in birdwatching or fishing, all while experiencing the rich history that Galveston has to offer. Overall, it's a budget-friendly getaway that provides great value for money.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals for Galveston hotels, you may start by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where discounted rates on accommodations close to your travel date could be available. Additionally, activating email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com can keep you informed about flash sales and special promotions, allowing you to seize opportunities to save. The Smart Shopping feature on the app serves as a handy comparison tool, helping you assess hotel prices and amenities, so you're more likely to be informed of any price drops or room availability for your Galveston getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a Galveston hotel. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised touch and, at times, better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we’ll recommend alternative dates that could offer better value, increasing the likelihood that you'll save.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre generally tend to be more expensive; however, with Galveston's superb public transport links, you may find a more affordable independent hotel located a bit further out that remains well connected. For those keen to discover alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be had. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
