The US Grant

The US Grant is the most historically significant luxury hotel in downtown San Diego, a 1910 landmark on Broadway that opened under the patronage of Ulysses S. Grant Jr. and has hosted every U.S. president from Woodrow Wilson to Barack Obama in a century of continuous operation as the grandest address in the city's urban core. The property's neoclassical architecture, grand ballroom, and Starwood-era renovation have preserved its historical character while modernizing the product to a standard competitive with the contemporary luxury hotels in the market, and the Marriott Autograph Collection affiliation provides planners with Bonvoy loyalty currency alongside the independent heritage positioning. For planners whose groups value historical prestige, architectural grandeur, and a downtown San Diego address with genuine landmark status, The US Grant is a compelling and distinctive choice that no new-build competitor can replicate.
