Description:
Following a 20-month, $56-million renovation, one of San Diego's most historic properties reopened in the fall of 2006. Originally built in 1910 by the son of two-term United States president and Civil War general Ulysses S. Grant, this grandiose 11-story property sits at the northern edge of the Gaslamp Quarter. An impressive Beaux Arts beauty, the Grant is part of the Starwood Hotel & Resorts' Luxury Collection. It is owned by the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation (in a nice touch of irony, the Kumeyaay were given their sovereignty in 1875 by President Grant). Guest rooms all have 9-foot ceilings, plush wool carpets, ornate moldings, custom furniture, Italian linens, and Native American artwork in the foyer. Over each bed is an original abstract painting created on-site by a commissioned artist. In-room spa services incorporating Native American traditions and local herbs and plants are also available. The Grant Grill, long a clubby spot for power lunches and dinners, has been given an Art Deco modern makeover, with plenty of curves, creamy white leather booths, rich mahogany, and iron filigrees. The restaurant serves regional, seasonal cuisine complemented by local and international wines and beers.
In Rooms: A/C, TV w/pay movies, Wi-Fi, dataport, minibar, coffeemaker, hair dryer, iron, safe, 2-line phone, alarm clock/radio/CD player, open-close windows, daily newspaper
