Only one hotel in Galveston overlooks the island’s working port and that is Harbor House Hotel and Marina at Pier 21. Harbor House sits on the site of an early Galveston Steamship Terminal and provides a unique vantage point for watching the activity of the port.

Harbor House Hotel and Marina, Galveston’s only harbor view hotel, reopened on Feb. 28 following a $1.7 million renovation with a bold new look and modern appointments. The hotel’s 42 guest rooms now offer an industrial yet warm feel with all new furniture, lighting, bedding, flooring, and bathrooms.
