The Perfect Place For A Texas Staycation, Grand Tuscany Hotel Is An Island Oasis In The Big City

A trip to Italia might be out of the question for a while, but we can visit the rolling hills of Tuscany without ever leaving Texas. Recently opened in Houston, the Grand Tuscany Hotel transports guests to a Mediterranean seaside paradise right in the heart of the big city.

Nestled in the heart of the Houston metro, Grand Tuscany is Space City's newest boutique hotel.

Despite being just minutes from the Galleria and City Centre, the hotel offers a much-needed escape from the monotony of your day-to-day life.

Upon stepping inside, you'll immediately be overwhelmed with the opulence.

The lobby is both modern and classic, a perfect blend of old-world elegance and the sleek, polished ambiance that permeates Uptown Houston.

After checking in, you'll want to spend some time exploring all there is to see.

Each hallway feels like an entirely different world, and you could easily get lost in a wonder-stricken daze.

No matter what brings you to the hotel, get ready to feel like royalty in one of 280 guest rooms.

The rooms vary in size and offered amenities, so rest assured there's something for every occasion. All guests enjoy bamboo bedding, 50-inch LED TVs, and views range from the city skyline to the Grand Tuscany's signature Island Oasis.

Speaking of the Island Oasis, it's undoubtedly the main attraction at the hotel.

A resort-style pool is surrounded by a 350-foot lazy river, transporting you to a Mediterranean paradise right here in Houston.

Poolside cabanas and open-air tables are available for rent, promising to make you feel like royalty.

Alternate between splashing the day away, soaking up some rays, and relaxing with food and drink from one of several onsite restaurants.

Entertainment, overnight accommodations, and great food - this hotel truly has it all.

From fine dining to late-night snacks, you'll never have to venture outside your home-away-from-home for a bite to eat.
