In 1986, two century old  hotels in the heart of San Diego's Gaslamp District were  rebuilt brick by brick. Victorian architecture, antiques, period decor, a gas fireplace, queen size beds, hand carved armoires and lace curtains are what you can expect from a private  room in San Diego's historic Gaslamp District or Quarter. No two rooms at the Horton Grand are alike, some rooms have balconies overlooking a New Orleans style open-air courtyard, while others have city view balconies or bay windows. All units are air-conditioned and each room also has a diary with handwritten testimonials from previous guests. 

On site entertainment such as the  High Tea,  Ida Bailey's, and  the Palace Bar with live jazz make this a great spot to stay at and never leave. Area attractions include the Convention Center and Seaport Village three blocks away, nearby Horton Plaza shopping mall,  Sea World - 10 miles distance  and San Diego Zoo just five miles away.

When Mardi Gras arrives each year, you might as well forget about booking a room at the last minute. The streets are closed to traffic and this West Coast spot known as the Gaslamp District takes it to the streets for some serious partying. 

Locals say it is an entertainment tradition to relax and imbibe as famous names such as Wyatt Earp and Jesse James once did. And though the bordellos are long gone, the historic buildings in which they were housed have been meticulously rehabed so that gazers can imagine what the walls might say if they could only speak.  A visit to this area of San Diego is a real treat.
