Galveston, Texas, is in the middle of a renaissance. After massive city-wide renovations turned this Gulf Coast barrier island into a world-class tourist destination, the city is ready to show family travelers why it is the place to be in Texas.

 

Whether visiting Galveston to explore its historic neighborhoods, ride a roller coaster at historic Pleasure Pier or just get in some much-needed beach time, there is one thing that will make your trip really come together — choosing the perfect place to stay so you can hit all the stops. Hotel Lucine, ideally located along the waterfront, is the perfect destination to ensure the family can be comfy and happy while they discover the charm of Galveston.

 

The 61-room hotel is the oldest-remaining Mid-Century beachfront motel along the waterfront, fully revitalized to meet the needs and demands of today’s visitors. The property dates back to the 1960s when it was the home of the island’s iconic Treasure Isle Motel. It has since been completely reimagined, resulting in this all-new boutique hotel with a vibe that perfectly blends old and new. A classic U-shaped courtyard creates an intimate vibe with what is designed to be a “people-centric atmosphere,” while staying true to its roots by retaining parts of the original design to pay homage to the island’s historic spirit.

 

Because Hotel Lucine is perfectly situated along the waterfront, near all of Galveston’s major attractions, it provides the perfect place for families to rest up and refresh in between activities. The pool gives you the chance to cool off from the summer heat while kids splash around and the hotel’s restaurants, rooftop bar and pool patio let you grab all your meals, whether looking for a casual bite or a sophisticated experience with a 180-degree view of the Gulf of Mexico.

 

Hotel Lucine is expected to open this August, at which time families will be able to use it as the perfect jumping-off point while they enjoy the great weather of Southeastern Texas, along with 32 miles of beaches and the many great attractions Galveston has to offer.
