The Us Grant, A Luxury Collection Hotel, San Diego
$300-600 / đêm
Đặt phòng nếu You want to feel like a Gilded Age president sleeping in a fortress of Beaux-Arts luxury, and you don't care about having a pool.
Tại Sao Mọi Người Yêu Thích Nó
- Stunning 1910 Beaux-Arts architecture that feels like a palace
- The Grant Grill's legendary Mock Turtle Soup and historic vibe
- Pillowtop beds with Egyptian cotton sheets that are legitimate sleep sanctuaries
Tóm tắt nhanh: A grand historic dame that delivers on luxury but sits smack in the middle of a gritty downtown street scene with no on-site pool to escape to.
Được đánh giá bởi @gonbendavid: I booked the Presidential Suite for our babymoon and it was unreal. Two floors, a huge living area, and a private balcony with insane city views. It felt like our own apartment in the city. 10/10 recommend for a splurge.

Reality check
The 'city view' often means looking at a gritty street or an office building, and the lack of a pool is a major letdown for the price.
- You are a history buff who appreciates 1910 architecture and Art Deco touches
- You are in town for business or the opera (Civic Theatre is next door)
- You prioritize a high-end mattress and linens over resort amenities
Vệ sinh & Bảo dưỡng
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally excellent, with twice-daily service often mentioned. Occasional reports of missed dust in older corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Marble bathrooms are usually sparkling, though some guests note the age of the plumbing fixtures.
- Maintenance: Historic building means occasional quirks like rattling AC units or slow drains, but generally well-kept.
- Linens & towels: Top-tier. Egyptian cotton sheets and plush towels are a consistent highlight.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells expensive and fresh; older rooms can sometimes have a faint 'vintage' (musty) air if not aired out.

“I am a light sleeper and would appreciate a room on a high floor (8th or above) away from the elevator. If a quiet room requires an interior view, I am willing to trade the view for silence.”
FAQ & Những mẹo ẩn
Mọi thứ bạn thực sự muốn biết trước khi đặt phòng.
Is there a pool?
No. There is no pool on the property. Guests are sometimes granted access to the Westin Gaslamp pool across the street, but verify this before booking.
Is it safe to walk around at night?
Generally yes, as it's a busy area, but the immediate blocks can be gritty with a visible homeless population. Exercise big-city caution.
How much is parking?
Valet is steep—around $70 per night. There are public garages nearby for less, but they don't offer in/out privileges.
Is breakfast included?
Usually no, unless you book a specific package. The 'Grant Breakfast' at the grill costs ~$28.
How far is the beach?
This is a city hotel. The nearest beaches (Coronado or Ocean Beach) are a 15-20 minute drive/Uber away.
Does the hotel have a shuttle?
No airport shuttle. You'll need to Uber/Lyft (~10-15 mins from SAN airport) or take a taxi.
Mẹo Nội Tại
- ✨
Ask the concierge about the 'speakeasy' history; the hotel has tunnels that were used during Prohibition.
- ✨
The 'Grant Grill Invasion' of 1969 is a cool story—ask the bartender about the plaque commemorating the women who stormed the men-only lunch spot.
- ✨
If you have Amex Platinum, book via FHR for the $100 food credit—it goes a long way at Grant Grill.
5 điều cần biết trước khi bạn đi
💡The 'Mock Turtle Soup' at Grant Grill is a real thing on the menu since 1951 (it's actually beef, not turtle).
💡The lobby chandeliers are stunning but the hallways can feel a bit dark and labyrinthine due to the historic layout.
💡You might hear the trolley dinging late into the night if your room faces the wrong way.
💡The 'Destination Fee' is annoying but sometimes includes a small food/beverage credit—ask at check-in so you don't waste it.
💡The hotel was built by the son of President Ulysses S. Grant, and the presidential history is baked into the decor.
