Introduction
|
 The
Horton Grand Hotel is
always ready to
welcome you with the
special charm and
personal service that
will make every stay a
memorable one. In
1986, two turn of the
century hotels were
painstakingly rebuilt
brick by brick, in the
heart of San Diego's
Gaslamp District.
Today, you can
experience the
elegance of the
Victorian Era at the
Horton Grand Hotel; a
superbly crafted
re-creation of San
Diego history and
Victorian
architecture.
The Horton Grand Hotel
is a full-service
historical Victorian
era hotel comprised of
132 unique,
beautifully appointed
guest rooms including
24 suites. Each room
is furnished with
antique queen size
beds, hand carved
armoires and lace
curtains. No two rooms
at the Horton Grand
are alike, and each
one is a showcase of
the past--with
up-to-date amenities
for the experienced
traveller. Step into
any room, and you have
entered into an
elegant age of
hand-crafted antiques,
with period decor and
a cozy gas fireplace.
Some rooms have
balconies overlooking
our charming New
Orleans fashioned
open-air courtyard,
while others have
fabulous city view
balconies or bay
windows and all units
are completely
air-conditioned. Each
room also has a diary
with handwritten
testimonials from
previous guests.
Owners Dori and
John Rose invite you
to explore the
extravagant
possibilities that
await you at the
Horton Grand Hotel....

Hotel Facilities & Services |
The Horton Grand Hotel
is in the Gaslamp
District, 2 blocks
from the San Diego
Convention Center.
Made up of two
restored Victorian-era
hotels, the property
is now connected by a
glass atrium which
forms a lobby area.
The lobby is decorated
with wicker furniture,
plants, hanging
chandeliers, marble
statues, and white
marble floors. A
100-year old oak grand
staircase, part of the
original Grand Horton,
ascends from the lobby
to all four floors.
Adjacent to the lobby,
an area near the front
desk served as a
saddle shop from the
early 1900’s through
the 1960’s. Today it
is studded with old
photographs and a
life-size paper mache
horse.
Hotel amenities
include a lobby bar
and restaurant, and
meeting facilities.
There is a New
Orleans-style
courtyard outside.
