Plans are taking shape for the Hotel Daphne<\/strong><\/a>, Bunkhouse Hotel\u2019s new property in the Heights. Among its other amenities, the 49-room boutique hotel will include Hypsi<\/strong>, an Italian restaurant led by Houston chef Terrence Gallivan. <\/p>\n

Best known for his time as the co-executive chef and co-owner of The Pass & Provisions, Gallivan also owned ElRo Pizza & Crudo<\/a> from June 2023 and until December 2024. Gallivan and co-chef Seth Siegel-Gardner earned two James Beard semifinalist nominations for Best Chef: Southwest for their work at The Pass & Provisions, as well as winning the first CultureMap Tastemaker Award for Restaurant of the Year back in 2014<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Slated to open in November, Hypsi will be an Italian-inspired restaurant that\u2019s initially open for dinner, with breakfast and lunch service to follow. While the menu is still under development, plans call for an extensive pasta program alongside freshly-baked breads and main entrees such as steak and whole-roasted fish. A mozzarella cart will roam the dining room with various cheeses and add-ons such as pickled vegetables, aged vinegars, and cold pressed olive oil. Lunch will focus on sandwiches and salads with breakfast centered around more traditional American fare.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m honored to introduce Hypsi to the Heights and to be part of Hotel Daphne\u2019s opening chapter,\u201d Gallivan said in a statement. \u201cThis is an incredible opportunity to cook for a city I love in a neighborhood with such a unique story, and my hope is that Hypsi becomes a place where locals and visitors alike will return time and time again \u2014 whether to celebrate one of life\u2019s special moments, to simply enjoy a thoughtfully prepared meal, or to linger over cocktails and conversation with loved ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ben Acklerley, one of the owners of the Hotel Daphne, tells CultureMap that Bunkhouse, and its owner Hyatt<\/a>, recruited Gallivan to the project. \u201cWe think the restaurant will be killer,\u201d Ackerley says. \u201cHaving Terrence on board is huge. We\u2019ve got the final tasting in about two weeks. I think its going to be really solid for lunch and dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the restaurant\u2019s design, Bunkhouse took inspiration from the Arts and Crafts architectural style. Inspired by private clubs, the design will include an indoor fireplace, banquettes adorned with \u201cpsychedelic pillows,\u201d and more, according to press materials. <\/p>\n

In addition to Hypsi, the Hotel Daphne will also have a separate bar in the former Heights Flower Shop space. Details on the bar will follow closer to the hotel\u2019s opening.<\/p>\n

Located at 347 W. 20th St., the Hotel Daphne will open in December with 49 rooms, Hypsi, and a retail shop in its lobby that will be similar to the Hotel Saint Augustine<\/a>, Bunkhouse\u2019s Montrose hotel that opened last year. A second phase of the Hotel Daphne\u2019s buildout will include a resort-style pool and pool bar; 10, bungalow-style suites (bringing the total room count to 59); and an events space and lawn. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Plans are taking shape for the Hotel Daphne, Bunkhouse Hotel\u2019s new property in the Heights.
