Seamlessly Integrating Innovation and Tradition

UG Group worked to ensure that Hotel Galvez retained its historic charm while integrating state-of-the-art engineering solutions. The primary renovation efforts included upgrades to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, improving operational efficiency without compromising the building’s architectural integrity. Additionally, careful planning preserved original Spanish Colonial details, ensuring the renovation honored the hotel’s legacy and timeless aesthetic.
