The US Grant, which was built in 1910 by Ulysses S. Grant Jr. to honor his Civil War hero father, is now owned by the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation, the Native American tribe that originally settled the land that includes Downtown San Diego. Sycuan’s purchase and careful restoration of the hotel represents an ancestral tribute to their legacy, as it was President Grant who in 1875 passed an Executive Order setting aside 640 acres of land in San Diego County for the Tribe, granting them sovereignty.

The hotel offers 270 luxurious custom-designed guest rooms, 47 of which are suites, including a pair of two-level Presidential Suites; and a Penthouse Technology Suite. All the guest rooms all have nine-foot ceilings, which are accented with detailed crown molding. In addition, original art by Native American artists decorates each foyer and bath and large one-ofa-kind works by noted French artist, Yves Clement, have been blended into the headboard of each bed.

The US Grant is distinguished by 33,000 square feet of elegantly restored interior function space plus the addition of two 4,000-square-feet, 8th story rooftop terraces providing guests with breath-taking views of San Diego. Additional features include the Grant Grill and Lounge, 24-hour room service and in-room spa services by Spa Velia making it a desired retreat for rock and roll royalty.
