The Garden Inn is, architecturally, one of the most singular in the East End Historical District (according to Galveston Architecture Guidebook, 1996). The 1887 H.S.

Each bedroom in the house is named after a Galveston flower. So let us take you on a tour of our interior garden. You will find no phone or TV in your room, but you will find a TV and VCR in the library and a phone located in the entryway for you to use if the need arises. Let your mind drift to sleep as you rest your head on the down pillows provided on every bed. The bedrooms have central air-conditioning and heat for year-round comfort and a ceiling fan to adjust your room temperature to your desired level of personal comfort. Bring your favorite CDs; each room includes a CD player/alarm clock. The bedroom floors are oak and area rugs are numerous. Guestrooms are furnished with a mixture of antiques, family heirlooms, period furnishings and reproductions.

The Rose Room is a spacious room with queen size bed, beautiful Rococo armoire, sitting area with fainting couch, dressing table, private bath with shower, and private balcony. Exit through the 9-foot tall walk through window out onto the private balcony overlooking part of the gardens, and listen to the birds sing as you enjoy the sunrise with your morning coffee or juice. In the evening you can sit and enjoy the gulf breezes and hear the gentle sounds of the waves. The Rose Room

The Oleander Room The Oleander Room is our largest room with king size bed, antique wardrobe and wash stand, and private bath with tub/shower. Enjoy your morning coffee sitting at the east side bay window on the antique sofa with the warmth of the morning sun.
