Weekend Getaway from Houston for couples

Looking for a weekend getaway from Houston that feels like a real escape? Galveston Island is about an hour's drive down I-45, depending on traffic, and The Suite Escape gives you a private loft made for two: no hotel lobby, no shared walls, just time together.

Private entertainment loft with pool table and shuffleboard at The Suite Escape in Galveston

Leave Houston on Friday afternoon and you can be watching the sunset over the Gulf by evening. The loft is a 12-minute walk from the Galveston Seawall and the Pleasure Pier, a 3-minute walk from The Bryan Museum, and a short drive from The Strand, Moody Gardens and the beaches.

What makes it different from a hotel room is the space to play. Challenge each other on the red-felt pool table, a full-length shuffleboard table or the dartboard, cook a slow breakfast in the full kitchen, then head out to explore the island. Our prices include all fees, with no hidden fees.
