Galveston’s
‘Haunted’ Hotel Galvez to Offer Ghost Tour and Dinner in October
Galveston
Island, TX – August 2012 / Hospitality 1ST / Ghost stories followed by
dinner in a haunted hotel is a sure way to get in the Halloween spirit
– no pun intended. The “haunted” Hotel Galvez & Spa, A Wyndham Grand®
Hotel and National Trust Historic Hotel of America, will begin taking reservations
for its annual October ghost tour and dinner on Tuesday, Sept. 4. Guests
must contact the restaurant at 409-765-7721 to make reservations. During
the tour, guests hear stories of the “Ghost Bride” and other reported strange
occurrences. The 101-year-old historic Texas hotel offers a public ghost
tour accompanied by a three-course dinner for $35 per person on Wednesday
and Thursday evenings throughout the month, including Halloween. Additionally,
the hotel is currently taking reservations for its Dinner
with the Ghosts overnight package which is priced at $229 per night
and includes a deluxe guest room, the ghost tour and dinner for two and
valet parking.
During
the month of October, Hotel Galvez
concierge Jackie Hasan will guide participants on a tour through the
historic hotel’s ghostly
past while using popular ghost hunting tools to conduct a paranormal
investigation. The one-hour ghost tour, which begins at 6 p.m., is followed
by a three-course dinner at Bernardo’s Restaurant at Hotel Galvez at 7
p.m. Guests may visit www.BernardosAtHotelGalvez.com
to review the dinner menu when it becomes available.
“The
ghost tour and dinner package at Hotel Galvez allows our guests to explore
the ghost history of the hotel while providing participants with an interesting
and uniquely entertaining experience,” says Hasan.
Hotel
staff has often reported odd occurrences throughout the hotel, such as
candles blowing out on their own, dishes breaking with no one around and
unexplained breathing or children’s laughter in some public areas. Similarly,
guests have reported seeing or sensing the occasional spirit in their rooms
or unexplained orbs in their photos. The hotel’s “Ghost Bride,” has reportedly
been seen in Room 501 and throughout the fifth floor. Hotel Galvez and
its ghosts have been featured on the Travel Channel’s Ghost Stories
and on Discovery Channel’s Ghost Lab.
