Tea and television made a fitting pairing when Ernie Manouse met a Houston Chronicle writer at Hotel Granduca in January 2015. Their conversation about his Downton Abbey companion show, Manor of Speaking, unfolded over sandwiches, scones and tea. Today, the Uptown hotel combines generous rooms and suites with a courtyard pool and Italian-influenced cooking at Remi. Renovated in 2025, it offers a quieter Houston base close to the shops of Uptown Park, with enough room to settle in beyond a single afternoon.
