The Hotel Granduca Austin starts April 14

A prominent Houston developer will build an Italian-inspired luxury hotel on a high bluff overlooking Austin and the Hill Country, alongside a new office building project.
Giorgio Borlenghi, founder of Interfin Cos. LP and a native of Milan, Italy, will build the Hotel Granduca northwest of the corner of Capital of Texas Highway and Bee Cave Road.
“The Granduca is different from any other hotel in this country with its fine Italian elegance,” Borlenghi said. “We manage it ourselves because the type of service we provide can’t be replicated. Only we can do it.”
Austin-based Riverside Resources owns the land and is building an office building alongside the hotel. Principals for Riverside Resources did not respond to a request for comment about its partnership with Interfin or more information about the office project.
Borlenghi said some site work has been initiated, but the official beginning of construction of the 194-room, nine-story hotel is April 14. Ludlow & Associates Construction LLC of Houston is the general contractor. That company handled construction of the first Granduca.
