Frommer's "The decor is modern, and I use "modern" in the best of senses -- sleek, uncluttered interiors that seek simplicity but avoid the "lab" look, which always leaves me with a chill." 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
