Located in U.S Grant Hotel, this fine dining restaurant specializes in a Continental cuisine. Expect the average entrée to cost $20 to $30, and people are quite appropriate when dressed casual, but fashionable.

Tea at the US Grant is just the place to go to feel really pampered. Young ladies (and gentlemen) will enjoy the lace tablecloths, silver tea sets, and chandeliers set in the lobby of the US Grant Hotel for a special afternoon out. Teas, finger sandwiches, scones, crumpets and pastries are served on Royal Albert bone china. The Grant is happy to arrange a children's party, birthday party, or shower ... more

Now part of Starwood Hotels' Luxury Collection, this San Diego classic was built in 1910 by President Ulysses S. Grant's son. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it was closed for much of 2005 undergoing a $52 million renovation faithful to its origins, and it reopened in fall 2006 with its gilt, cut crystal, marble, and mahogany furnishings gleaming. The stately lobby recalls the ... more

This long-standing venue has an interesting and controversial history. In its early days, women were only allowed to enter if escorted by a man. Since that time, the establishment changed its policy so everyone can enjoy the restaurant. Menu items include a grilled New York Steak Sandwich, New Zealand Rack of Lamb, Lobster Paella and the grilled 16-ounce Prime Angus Cowboy Steak. There is live jazz ... more

In the evening, theatergoers replace the big-business movers and shakers for an elegant dinner menu of California cuisine including roasted lamb, wild king salmon,and spiced lobster cakes.

After 21 painstaking months and a $52 million face-lift, the U.S. Grant Hotel reopened for business in October 2006. Located in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter, directly across from Horton Plaza, the U.S. Grant Hotel originally opened in 1910 â€” a development in part by the president's son, Ulysses S. Grant Jr. The Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation purchased the property in 2003 and soon shut ... more

Though the hotel lounge can be crowded during large conventions and evening shows at nearby venues such as Spreckels Theatre and Copley Symphony Hall, seating often is available during early hours after work. Business casual is the standard dress, though shorts and touring threads aren't unusual given the venue.

We stayed two nights over the 4th of July holiday weekend at this hotel. One of the shortcomings of this property was obvious when we pulled up to the curb to check in – the valet parking situation is lousy for this grade of hotel. The interior driveway is closed and since the crew was not prepared for the rush... more

The hotel itself is impeccable. Stylish, but not kitchy, opulent but still descreet. Everything about good service and perfect location is true. The room, although may not have been the largest I have seen, was certainly the most pleasant I've stayed in. Design, style, amenities, little touches here and there, it was perfect. I do have a few grudges against... more

Historical Hotel

A nice historical hotel that's recently been renovated and updated. It definitely has an old school charm and is beautifully done inside. The rooms are a bit small and it can be a little loud at night because it is right in downtown across from Horton Plaza. Overall a very nice hotel though.

First of all, the Grant is a beautiful, grand old hotel on a par with the Beverly Wilshire and the Peninsula in Los Angeles, and the Fairmont and Mark Hopkins in San Francisco. Service was excellent, as one should expect. Rooms were beautiful; bedding was top-drawer and fixtures were of the highest quality. The recent $50,000,000 renovation, however, had one... more

Our original plans were to stay at the Embassy Suites Downtown because it was fairly close to the Convention Center.

This hotel still needs help, and their staff is untrained. The hotel is still not mechanically sound, i.e. toilets and shower are overflowing, the wallpaper and paint are peeling as well as bubbling off the wall. Their decor is in horrible taste.
