Hilton Galveston Island

For groups needing seamless access to both professional venues and Gulf Coast relaxation, Hilton Galveston Island Resort delivers the perfect balance. Located steps from the Galveston Island Convention Center, this well-established resort offers an ideal combination of functional meeting space, comfortable guest accommodations, and inviting coastal views — all within easy reach of the city’s top attractions.

Built with group stays in mind, the property is optimized for everything from association conferences to corporate retreats to large-scale reunions. Its 14,000 square feet of flexible event space includes dedicated meeting rooms, grand ballrooms, and smaller breakout areas ideal for workshops or executive gatherings. Audiovisual rentals, planning support, and in-house catering ensure that events run smoothly without the need for outside vendors. The hotel’s direct connection to the Convention Center makes it especially valuable for planners seeking efficiency and convenience.

When it’s time to unwind, groups can enjoy a broad selection of guest rooms, many with balconies facing the Gulf of Mexico. Each room is outfitted for both relaxation and productivity, featuring high-speed Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, work desks, coffee makers, and mini refrigerators. Upscale extras like robes, slippers, and room service add comfort, while blackout curtains ensure rest between packed agendas.

Outdoor spaces are thoughtfully designed to accommodate downtime and informal gatherings. The tropical pool area, framed by palm trees and complete with a swim-up bar and hot tub, encourages casual networking or post-meeting relaxation. Cabanas are available for rental, offering additional privacy for smaller group meet-ups.

Dining is easy and varied. Palm Court Restaurant offers all-day dining with American and Caribbean-inspired menus suited for group meals or individual dining. Coconuts Bar and Grill, open seasonally at the pool, provides casual fare and beverages ideal for social gatherings, while the Lobby Bar presents an indoor option for cocktails or informal meetings.

Additional amenities include a fully equipped fitness center, concierge service, business center, and onsite gift shop. The resort also offers valet parking, shuttle services, and electric car charging stations, supporting groups arriving in any format — from corporate shuttles to family caravans.

Beyond the hotel, guests are well-positioned to explore Galveston’s attractions. The property is less than a ten-minute drive from historic downtown, Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn Waterpark, and the Port of Galveston cruise terminals. Whether groups are mixing meetings with leisure or preparing for embarkation, Hilton Galveston Island Resort makes coordination simple.
