Houston’s Leading Luxury Hotel Now Part of Nation’s Largest Points-Based Rewards Program for Independent Hotels

HOUSTON, TX – August 20, 2014 – Hotel Granduca, a five-star luxury hotel located in the heart of Houston’s Uptown-Galleria neighborhood, announced today that it has partnered with Stash Hotel Rewards, the nation’s largest points-based rewards program for independent hotels. As a result of this new partnership, Stash members are now able to earn and redeem points at Hotel Granduca, where exceptional service and luxurious amenities meet old-world Italian elegance and sophistication.

“By partnering with Stash, we have an opportunity to strengthen the relationships that we work extremely hard to build with each of our guests,” said Mary Grace Gray, General Manager at Hotel Granduca. “People who stay at Hotel Granduca have come to expect a higher level of service and an exceptional experience – and through Stash, we’re able to reward them for their stay, enrich their individual experience, and offer acknowledgement of what their loyalty means to us.”

Superior customer service and attention to detail are hallmarks of Hotel Granduca, from the award-winning Ristorante Cavour to the traditional Italian architectural design and decor, all in honor of owner Giorgio Borlenghi’s native land. Each of its 122 guest rooms and suites reflect the true character of a traditional Italian villa, decorated with original artwork and authentic furnishings. The Hotel also features a sophisticated and elegant ballroom, 5,000 square feet of meeting and event space including four executive board rooms, and a luxurious veranda and pool.

“With the addition of the distinguished Hotel Granduca, Texas has become our fastest growing market— four properties joined Stash in the last six months alone,” said Jeff Low, Founder and CEO of Stash Hotel Rewards. “Stash members visiting Texas can now choose between ten authentic travel experiences, from the exclusive environment offered by Houston’s Hotel Granduca to the upscale collegiate culture at Overton Hotel & Conference Center in Lubbock – and everything in between.”

Guests can join Stash for free at www.stashrewards.com. Stash members earn five points for each dollar spent on eligible room rates and can redeem them at one-of-a-kind independent hotels across the U.S. Stash points never expire, and redemption is simple, without blackout dates or category restrictions found in many chain programs. Stash partner hotels also provide members with exclusive travel deals.
