History of the Hotel Galvez, A

by Kathleen Maca

Make a reservation at the Hotel Galvez and enjoy the storied hospitality that has marked the Queen of the Gulf's reign for over a century. Come walk the timeless halls of the Hotel Galvez. No expense was spared in the creation of this beautiful statement of Galveston's resilience, which stands as the only historic beachfront hotel in the state of Texas. Perched on the city's famed seawall, the building has weathered a century of hurricanes and even "served'? in the U.S. Coast Guard during World War II. Presidents, beauty pageant contestants, gamblers, movie stars, military heroes, newsmen, and countless other guests have gazed out at the Gulf through its gracefully arched windows. Kathleen Maca recounts the legends and shares the secrets of this extraordinary hotel.

Was a little slow reading the book. Taking my time to disseminate the information I was reading. A very thorough and easy to read book regarding the hotel and the island. Absolutely loved the book and highly recommend it.
