By Melanie Nonmacher

Howdy, Galveston lovers! If you're looking to whisk your honey away for a romantic weekend, there's no need to leave our beloved island. Galveston, with its rich history, charming architecture, and beachy vibes, is the perfect setting for a love-filled getaway. Here's my insider's guide on where to stay to make your weekend unforgettable.

First on my list is the delightful Hotel Galvez & Spa. This stunning beachfront resort, steeped in over a century of history, effortlessly blends the old-world charm of Galveston with modern luxury. The moment you step into the grand lobby with its soaring ceilings and sweeping staircase, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time. The rooms are sumptuously appointed, many offering breathtaking views of the Gulf. And, with its own spa, fine dining, and a heated saltwater pool, you might not want to leave the hotel at all!

If you're after a more intimate setting, consider staying at the Lost Bayou Guesthouse. This beautifully restored 19th-century home, nestled in the historic Lost Bayou district, exudes charm and romance. Each room is individually decorated, featuring antique furniture and unique architectural details. The wrap-around porch is perfect for a relaxing evening, sipping wine and soaking in the island's laid-back culture.

Another enchanting option is The Tremont House. Located in the heart of downtown, this boutique hotel is just steps away from the Strand, Galveston's vibrant historic district. The Tremont House combines Victorian elegance with modern comfort, making it a stylish home away from home. Don't miss a chance to enjoy a cocktail in the rooftop bar. With panoramic views of the harbor and the twinkling city lights, it's a magical place to toast to your love.

For those who crave seclusion, the East End Historic District's Avenue O Bed and Breakfast is the way to go. This 1923 Mediterranean style home offers cozy rooms, personalized service, and a peaceful garden where you can unwind. The best part? It's just a short walk to the beach, local dining, and Galveston’s famous Pleasure Pier.

Finally, don't forget to check out the Coppersmith Inn. A stunning Victorian mansion located in the Silk Stocking District, it's a hidden gem that offers charming rooms and a hearty home-cooked breakfast. Enjoy your morning coffee in the lush garden before exploring the nearby historic homes and museums.

Whether it's the allure of our historic homes, the beauty of our beaches, or the flavors of our local cuisine, Galveston has everything you need for a romantic weekend. So, choose your perfect hideaway and let the magic of our island set the mood for love. Enjoy your stay, y'all!
