Lonely Planet review

The beautiful US Grant Hotel has stood stately in its Edwardian stature since 1910 - not long when one considers the age of European castles, but, for the young California, it's old, wise and full of tales.

Though it has aged gracefully for the most part, the historical hotel can't help but have greyed a tad. Thus, in true California fashion, it's now undergoing some reconstructive surgery. The new management - Starwood Hotels, which purchased it in 2003 - has begun a multimillion renovation of the building and its 285 rooms and suites. This promises a luxury update that will hopefully bring the interior to its deserved grandeur. The historic hotel, which has an on-site restaurant and tea time Thursday to Sunday afternoons, was built by Ulysses S Grant Jr, and named for his father, president Ulysses S Grant. Throughout the years, it has hosted folks we know from history books, like Charles Lindbergh, Albert Einstein and president and Mrs Eisenhower. We wonder if they would recognise its newly made-over self.
