Hotel Granduca’s History

A Legacy of Elegance

Founded in 2006 by visionary Giorgio Borlenghi, Hotel Granduca was created as a sanctuary of Old World elegance in the heart of Houston. Drawing inspiration from the opulent sixteenth-century palazzo of Adalberto Malatesta, the Granduca of Monfallito, the hotel’s iconic design and European craftsmanship reflect a deep reverence for art, culture, and tradition.
