Once a two-star motel named Treasure Isle, this dated ’60s structure had long languished on the Galveston seawall. When investors saw the opportunity for revitalization, they hired Kartwheel to bring their vision of a boutique beachside experience to life.
Refined yet contemporary, Kartwheel’s renovation will honor the building’s history while looking toward the future. The hotel’s exterior will be reimagined in soothing colors and materials, featuring verdant native plants, white brick, and warm mahogany.
Meanwhile, the renovated pool, elegant patios, and the addition of French brasserie-inspired restaurant and bar The Fancy are already drawing attention from critics and tourists from across the country.
