THE US GRANT opened its doors on October 15, 1910 as the city’s first and finest luxury hotel. Built by the son of President Ulysses S. Grant in his father’s honor, and designed by Harrison Albright to crown San Diego’s “city beautiful movement,” THE US GRANT has become a cherished National Landmark. As the grand dame of Downtown, the iconic building sits amidst skyscrapers with the Victorian-era charm of the Gaslamp Quarter just one block away. By day, the San Diego sunshine and blue skies hover over the hotel’s international flags proudly flying through the breeze, and by night, dramatic uplights glisten from the majestic structure. Many renovations since 1910 have since restored THE US GRANT to its original grandeur. No detail has been overlooked. Upon entry, guests are greeted by the timeless elegance of magnificent crystal chandeliers dangling from above, nestled amidst grand columns hand-carved with the original Grant family crest. Highlights of THE US GRANT’s storied legacy include hosting 14 U.S. Presidents, erecting an 11th floor radio station with the tallest radio towers West of the Mississippi, and operating a Speakeasy during Prohibition.
