The Hotel Galvez was built in 1911, 11 years after the historical Galveston hurricane. Nicknamed, ” The Playground of The Southwest”, The Hotel Galvez once hosted many wealthy socialites, businessmen, and celebrities. Ghost stories began in room 505, where a woman hung herself after finding out her husband had passed. The woman, who many have named, “The Lovelorn Lady”, is said to still haunt the fifth floor and also the ladies restroom downstairs. Many guests have reported hearing stall doors violently shaking, toilets flushing on their own, sinks that turn on by themselves and even the strange scent of gardenias. Some investigators have even captured photographic evidence. The hotel even offers seasonal ghost tour packages. Check out their website for ghost tour dates here. Visit the hotel at 2024 Seawall Blvd., Galveston.
