It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is 11 stories high and has 270 guest rooms in addition to meeting rooms and a ballroom. HistoryThe hotel was built by Ulysses S. Grant, Jr., son of president Ulysses S. Grant, who named the hotel after his father.[2] Grant bought the Horton House Hotel and demolished it to construct the current hotel.[3] Architect Harrison Albright designed the hotel.[4] San Diego voters helped finance $700,000 for the $1.5 million needed to construct the hotel after Grant lacked the funds to do so.[5] The hotel opened on October 15, 1910 and included two swimming pools as well as a ballroom on the top floor.[6] The hotel's signature restaurant is the Grant Grill, which opened in 1952. It became a power-lunch spot for downtown businessmen and politicians, so much so that "ladies" were not permitted in the restaurant before 3 PM. In 1969 a group of prominent local women staged a sit-in which resulted in the restaurant abandoning its men-only policy.[7] The hotel was refurbished in the 1980s, but fell upon hard times in the subsequent decade due to a financial slump.[8] The hotel changed hands several times during the 1990s. In 2003, the hotel was purchased by the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation, who closed the doors for 21 months to renovate the building. It reopened in October 2006.[9] The hotel is operated by Marriott Hotels & Resorts as a part of its Luxury Collection. EventsThe Grant Hotel was, for nearly 35 years, until 1974, the site of the annual reunion dinner of the "Great White Fleet Association," a group of sailors who sailed on the cruise of 16 white battleships from 1907-09.[9] These dinners attracted a wide range of military officials and guests from all over the world. The inaugural San Diego Comic-Con International, which was then called "San Diego’s Golden State Comic-Con", was held at the U.S. Grant Hotel in 1970.[10] GuestsFamous guests have included Albert Einstein,[12] Charles Lindbergh,[11] Woodrow Wilson and 12 additional United States Presidents.[12] The hotel includes three presidential suites that have been tailored to Secret Service requirements for accommodating presidential visits.[12] References1. ^{{NRISref|version=2010a}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.sandiegohistory.org/journal/81winter/grant.htm|title=U.S. Grant, Jr.: A Builder of San Diego |last=Banning|first=Evelyn I. |publisher=San Diego Historical Society|accessdate=June 22, 2014|archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/6QXLdmbAc|archivedate=June 22, 2014}} 3. ^{{cite book |last=Engstrand |first=Iris Wilson |title=San Diego: California's Cornerstone |series=Adventures in the Natural History and Cultural Heritage of the Californias Series |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RhCQUf1XQ84C&pg=PA263 |accessdate=23 March 2013 |year=2005 |publisher=Sunbelt Publications, Inc. |isbn=9780932653727 |page=263 }} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://history.sandiego.edu/GEN/local/usgranthotel.html|title=U.
