Uptown Park is a European-style shopping center in the heart of Houston’s uptown district, conveniently located near the Galleria and several major hotels. Are you in Houston for a day and looking for a pleasant way to spend the afternoon? Looking for a unique souvenir of your trip to Houston, or a one-of-a-kind gift?

Look no further than this fabulous “lifestyle center” full of surprises. It’s just moments from many of Houston’s attractions, but it has stores you can’t find anywhere else. Forget the traditional mall with its claustrophobic fluorescent lights and experience the outdoors.

Sip coffee on the porch at Andre’s Restaurant. Sit next to the burbling fountain and plan your next purchase. Would you like to find unique linens and other bedroom decorations? Try the Longoria Collection.

What about a special present for your special someone? Uptown Park has several fine jewelers, as well as Hanson Galleries, one of the United States’ top ten dealers of American arts and crafts.

You may not be driving a Jaguar or a BMW, but here you can shop like people who are. Have a blast window shopping and then stop into McCormick & Schmick’s, one of the finest seafood restaurants in Houston.
