Pacific Hospitality Group’s Hotel Granduca Austin opened an Italian eatery on its property at 320 S. Capital of Texas Hwy., West Lake Hills, on Sept. 26.

The restaurant, called Laurel, also features a patio and bar.

The menu at Laurel showcases ingredients from the Texas Hill Country while drawing inspiration from Italian coastal cuisine and adding a modern flair, according to a press release from Hotel Granduca.

Laurel Executive Chef Tommy Suddeth Jr. has extensive culinary experience working at hotels such as the Marriott, Hyatt, Wyndham and Horseshoe Bay Resort, the press release said.

“I have spent my career working in various hotels, but this is the most exciting project that I’ve been a part of. I’m proud to bring a new signature restaurant like Laurel from the ground up to the Austin community,” Suddeth said.


Laurel will offer breakfast, lunch and dinner with menu options for children and adults.
