• About Hotel Galvez and Spa

    View Treatments Menu  

    Located along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, the Hotel Galvez and Spa holds the title of being the only historic beachfront hotel in Galveston, Texas. Known as the "Queen of the Gulf," the AAA Four Diamond-awarded property has hosted the likes of dignitaries and celebrity clientele since its inception in 1911 and is listed as a historic landmark by the National Register of Historic Places.

    A circular-drive entrance lined with manicured foliage leads guests to the hotel, while interiors, with their mahogany ceilings, detailed stenciling, dramatic columns, and crown moldings, reflect the hotel's old-world charm while merging modern amenities to accommodate the contemporary traveler. Each of the 227 rooms and suites offers scenic water or island views, and business and event facilities include the grand Music Hall and Parlors. A full-service salon, fitness center, and outdoor meditation garden are just a few of the luxuries found at the Mediterranean-inspired spa, and there is an outdoor pool with a swim-up bar.

The Spa at the Hotel Galvez celebrates its oceanfront setting with a Mediterranean-style vibe and extensive menu of services showcasing the coast's indigenous ingredients. The 10,000-square-foot spa comprises eight treatment rooms, including hydrotherapy and Vichy shower areas and a couple's room, along with a salon, fitness center, boutique, and outdoor meditation garden with a reflection pond. Men's and women's locker rooms come complete with steam rooms, and a private lounge is available for small groups and parties. Before or after treatments, guests can take advantage of the relaxation room, sipping fruit-infused drinks from the beverage bar and enjoying individually adjusted lighting and music from their lounge chairs.

Sea-inspired offerings include the Sea of Calm and Island of Youth Facials, the Marine Mud Detoxifying Body Mask, and the Warm Seaweed Mud Wrap.

I went to this spa because my cousin said it was great. She was absolutely right. My facial and pedicure were tops and the spa itself was beautiful. Maria was the attendant and she was very sweet. I would recommend this spa to anyone.

What an exilerating experience. I won a gift certicate to the hotel, which included a full spa day for my husband and I. We both absolutely enjoyed every minute of it. The staff was amazing and worked wonders on us. The next time I'm down in Galveston, I hope to visit this place again.

This spa has a wide variety of services, a very professional staff, and amazing facilities. Their relaxation room is lovely, and they have heated neck wraps. Their locker area is clean, well-stocked with anything you could need, and has a steam room! Everything is clean. The selection of services has a wide range of price levels and lengths of time - suitable for every budget and every time frame. I would go back regularly if I lived there!

My mom and I visited last week and had a blast! Everyone was so nice and the service was excellent. This was my mom's first spa visit and Georgia did an outstanding job walking her through the services and ensured her first experience was memorable. With a stressful job, Angela worked wonders on my aching muscles. Major kudos to Ruth and Pam for their hospitality. The prices are affordable and the services are to die for. This is a must stop on your visit to Galveston!
