\"Luxury<\/a>Galveston, Texas, United States, March 26, 2022 \/ TRAVELINDEX \/ Grand Galvez, has announced exciting plans and beautiful renderings for Lolo, the new luxury resort boutique, which will be located in Peacock Alley of the iconic renowned beachside resort hotel and spa on Galveston Island. The opening is scheduled for mid-summer 2022.<\/p>\n

Lorenda Wyant, an interior designer who is collaborating with her husband, Mark Wyant on the renovations at Grand Galvez, has designed Lolo and is handling the merchandise selection. She has been involved in the retail business for many years, overseeing the boutiques at all of the hotels developed by her husband.<\/p>\n

The carefully curated Lolo merchandise will reflect the luxurious renovations taking place at the hotel. The \u201cnew\u201d Grand Galvez will offer a feeling of luxury and sophistication with an emphasis on stylish changes, focusing on an interpretation of modernism blended with the energy of the Gatsby era. The hotel\u2019s refreshing renovations and creative design touches will intuitively meet the needs of every guest. (A detailed release on the renovations is included in the Dropbox.)<\/p>\n

The Lolo design and merchandise color palette of the 500 square foot store and merchandise will be light, bright and colorful with whimsical touches of pinks, blues and vivid prints, all complementing the seaside location of the Grand Galvez.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe inspiration for Lolo comes from many beach resorts and hotels we have visited around the world, including the original bathing suit and hat shop opened by Coco Chanel in the beachside resort of Deauville. I have always loved the history of fashion and seeing Coco\u2019s first retail store was so memorable that when it came to naming the Grand Galvez beach resort boutique, Mark and I wanted to pay homage to her. With a \u2018play\u2019 on her name, we decided to use my childhood name \u2018Lolo\u2019 for the boutique\u2019s branding,\u201d said Lorenda Wyant.<\/p>\n

Some of the chic clothing lines will include colorful caftans by Powder; swimwear, caftans and hats by Maaji; robes by Frette; baby clothes and swimwear by RuffleButts for babies and RuggedButts for boys; men\u2019s swim trunks and shirts and Azul Siete; and sun protection lotions and oils by Hampton Sun. A signature lavender-based scent for Grand Galvez has been created by Dallas-based. Niven Morgan and his personal-care products and hand-poured candles will be available at Lolo. (Select merchandise images are in Dropbox.)<\/p>\n

With its renowned history and exquisite setting, Grand Galvez is the site of hundreds of weddings each year. Mrs. Wyant has also selected beautiful bridal accessories from the \u201cTo Have and To Hold Collection\u201d from Shiraleah, designed for bachelorette parties, bridal showers and gifts.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know many guests at Grand Galvez want to take with them a memory of their visit and we have created a selection of Grand Galvez-branded polo shirts and hats that will be for sale at Lolo,\u201d said Lorenda Wyant.<\/p>\n
