The Tremont House Offers Meaningful Meetings in Texas' Backyard

Galveston Island is just 45 minutes south of Houston and surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico and Galveston Bay. The Tremont House, a Wyndham Grand Hotel and National Trust Historic Hotel of America, is one of only two historic hotels on the Island. Its Historic Downtown Strand District  location offers attendees the option to shop and stroll along The Strand or savor the view from the rooftop after a day of meetings.

 

The Tremont House features Wyndham ClearAir™ allergy-friendly air purification meeting space where 98-100 percent of all viruses and bacteria are eliminated. All room surfaces are treated to remove and hinder contaminants.  As part of this process, a tea tree oil cartridge is installed that acts as a natural disinfectant. This purification system is in place in all 14,700 square feet of space in nine meeting rooms. The hotel has also added the air purification system to 10 percent of its sleeping rooms. These sleeping rooms are an optional upgrade. The PURE system is the most comprehensive allergy-friendly system in the hospitality industry.
