THE BEST NEW REASON TO VISIT GALVESTON IS HOTEL LUCINE


A FORMER 1960S MOTEL GETS NEW LIFE AS A GULF COAST OASIS, WITH FINE-ISH DINING
AND ROOFTOP COCKTAILS

Hotel Lucine opened on Friday. Here's what you need to know.

November might not scream beach weather, but there are still plenty of reasons
to hit the road for Galveston. There’s the seafood, of course, but Galveston is
also one of the state’s best holiday destinations. During the first week of
December, downtown’s Strand Street is transformed into a Victorian-era,
Dickensian London. Then there’s Holiday in the Gardens, which turns Moody
Gardens into a winter wonderland, complete with ice sculptures and a literal
mile of holiday lights. Such trips require a place to stay, and now there’s a
new one for your consideration: Hotel Lucine. Bookings are currently live, and
doors open November 10.

The 61-room boutique hotel is situated at 10th Street and Seawall Boulevard.
Originally developed in 1963 as the Treasure Isle Motel, Hotel Lucine is the
oldest remaining property from a generation of beachfront motels in Galveston.
Many original aspects of the low-slung, two-story structure’s midcentury spirit
have been incorporated into the new design, including the courtyard and pool
anchoring the U-shaped property. But now the oceanfront hotel is boasting all
the things you want in a weekend vacation spot, like modern rooms, a great
restaurant and a rooftop bar. 



“No other town on the Texas coast has the assets, charm, history or weirdness to
pull this off,” says Dave Jacoby, who’s a partner in the hotel. He credits
Galveston’s “unique vibe,” which is something you can’t build new or recreate in
another coastal town.

Rooms are bright and airy, with king or double-queen configurations, light wood
and plenty of sunlight. Choose a balcony room on the second floor, and you’ll
get pool views and easy access to the outdoor bar.

The hotel restaurant is called The Fancy and is a self-described “American
fine-ish dining” spot run by chef Leila Ortiz. She’s worked at hotels abroad, in
Houston at Bludorn and UBPreserv, and in New York as sous chef at David Chang’s
Momofuku Noodle Bar. The Fancy’s menu is French-adjacent with Galveston roots
and a vibe that conjures a nostalgic dinner party. The menu features raw bar
items like Gulf tilefish and mussels on the half shell, and small plates like
meatballs with clam and fennel salad and caviar with potato pave crisp and crème
fraiche. Larger plates include a whole striped bass, roasted Gulf snapper,
grass-fed ribeye and a pork chop.



There’s also the Den, a casual lobby restaurant that serves coffee and breakfast
in the morning, and then moves into lunch and dinner — think cheeseburgers, a
spicy chicken sandwich and Caesar salad with Gulf fish croquettes. Because the
beach is quite conspicuous, you’ll be pleased to know that Hotel Lucine has the
largest beachfront rooftop bar in Galveston. So you’ll get unobstructed views of
the water while sipping drinks.

“We hope to make Hotel Lucine a hangout where our neighbors and visitors can
find culture, fun and culinary delights all in one place,” says Robert Marcus,
who’s also a partner in the project. “We look forward to being a seaside
hideaway that folks never want to leave.”

Whether you plan a trip for the fall or wait until sunnier spring, all of the
above does make a pretty compelling case to visit and stick around for a while.
