Horton Grand Hotel

Find the perfect balance between old-fashioned charm and modern conveniences when you stay at Horton Grand Hotel. This boutique hotel can be found in San Diego’s colorful Gaslamp Quarter, an historic district chock-a-block with fantastic restaurants, lively nightclubs, and cute shops. The hotel is comprised of two different historic hotels from the 1880s combined into one complex that has been a favorite over the decades with the likes of Wyatt Earp, Lou Costello, and Babe Ruth as well as national dignitaries.

The Horton Grand is not your average big-chain hotel, and that’s what makes it perfect for business and leisure travelers who prefer an experience that they can’t have anywhere else. From the minute you enter the building, you’ll see the Victorian influences in the décor, including dark wood paneling and architectural details. The 132 rooms in the hotel also have that historic feel, with marble-framed gas fireplaces and hand-carved wood furniture.

San Diego Trolley

The San Diego Trolley conveniently stops in front of the Horton Grand, making it easy to access the best of the city.

The bilingual hotel staff bring more of the good old days with their commitment to providing excellent customer service. They are dedicated to each guest to ensure a stay at the Horton is indeed grand. The lobby boasts a distinctive bar with happy hour specials daily, while the restaurant on property, Salt & Whiskey, features delicious American fare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and offers live entertainment on weekend evenings.

The Horton Grand also makes for a distinctive setting for both work and special events. The hotel hosts weddings for local and out-of-town parties, offering spaces for large receptions or more intimate affairs with an outdoor courtyard with a New Orleans flair and ballrooms. The event planning staff can help you with any arrangements to make your conference or special day a smashing success.

When you are a guest at the Horton, you have access to all that San Diego has to offer, right outside your window. After exploring the Gaslamp Quarter, you should plan to see more of the city by Old Town Trolley or on foot. There is no shortage of activities to enjoy during your stay, especially with the beach so close to the hotel. What better way to set the tone of your trip to San Diego than with the memorable Horton Grand Hotel as your home base.
