"This 314-room downtown hotel is housed in a 1926 building that was the original corporate headquarters of Shell Oil Company." Full review

Rough Guide "A modern boutique hotel in an excellent downtown location."
Gayot "Launched in 2003 in the original corporate office headquarters of Shell Oil (built in 1926), the Magnolia has 314 rooms and suites."

""Tidy", "spacious" quarters -- some with kitchenettes -- are done up in "retro-modern" style at this Downtown boutique staffed by an "efficient" crew."
Frommer's "An anachronistic blend of new and old... The overall effect is charming and comfortable and can hardly go out-of-date." Full review

Fodor's "The super-luxurious all-suites property is just steps away from the Uptown Park shopping and dining village. A multilingual staff anticipates your every need." Full review
Star Service "Graced with a look more south-Florida or Florence than swampy Houston, this is a breath of fresh air, and it has gained quite a reputation over the last decade." Full review
Gayot "Guests can savor the environment of an Italian villa amid Houstonâs swanky boutiques at this 122-room luxury retreat."
Zagat4.2
"The Italian-born owner of this hotel designed it to look like a Tuscan villa inside and out, right down to the Italian linens and Aqua di Parma toiletries in the rooms and suites."
Frommer's "With an air of old Italian aristocracy, the Hotel Granduca offers guest a luxurious retreat from the hustle and bustle of the big city." Full review

"The 122 classic Italian guest rooms and suites have living rooms and either full kitchens or kitchenettes, plus some have balconies." Full review
Afar Magazine "Referred to as “the Palace of the Duke,” the statuesque property resembles an Italian villa with a palm tree–lined facade." Full review
Jetsetter "Urban Italianate retreat in Houston’s tony Uptown Park, with a strong suit in Northern Italian cuisine." Full review

Condé Nast Traveler "Deemed a veritable "Euro-style palace" in Uptown's The Galleria, here's a hotel that brings more than a taste of old world Italy to the Longhorn State." Full review
