Galveston, Texas
Built on salt
and luck
Three hundred and twenty rooms in a 1911 salt warehouse. Exposed brick, twenty-foot ceilings, a gaming hall in the old loading bay and a rooftop that looks straight down the ship channel.
What there is to do
Things worth getting up for
Most of this is included. Where it is not, the price is on the page rather than on the bill.

The Harbour
On the water
A working harbour, not a marina. Harbour tours twice daily on a restored 1948 tug, and the ferry to the point leaves from our own dock.
