Hilton Galveston Island Resort  

On Galveston Island’s Seawall Boulevard, a beach hotel with direct access to Seawall Beach and a short walk to the Galveston Island Convention Center. Moody Gardens, the Pleasure Pier and the Port of Galveston are all within easy reach.

A modern coastal lobby sets the tone with palm accents and sunset hues. The property offers roughly 239 guestrooms and suites with floor-to-ceiling windows, private balconies with Gulf views, and residential-style furnishings. Rooms feature flat-screen HD TVs, vanity coffee stations, bistro tables, in-room refrigerators and MP3 docking stations, plus plush mattresses with high-thread-count sheets and down-style duvets. Renovations are underway to enhance the residential feel and upgraded amenities.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, soak in the hot tub, or sweat it out in the sauna and steam bath. A fitness center keeps routines intact, while a poolside bar serves easy-going drinks for sea-breeze evenings. On-site services include gift shops, a tour desk and options to arrange a cruise-terminal shuttle for a surcharge; parking is available on the property (fees may apply).

Plenty of space for events — about 14,004 sq ft of flexible meeting and conference space plus meeting rooms. Complimentary wired and wireless internet, a 24-hour business center and express check-in make corporate stays smooth.

Palm Court serves American classics for lunch and dinner, while a bar/lounge and poolside bar keep cocktails flowing. 24-hour room service is available, and cooked-to-order breakfasts are offered daily (for a fee) to kick off a Gulf morning.
