This nearly 100-year-old hotel (opened in 1910 by Ulysses S. Grant, Jr. and his wife Fannie, and now part of Starwood’s Luxury Collection) recently underwent a multi-million dollar renovation that restored the polish to this historic, grand building. The opulent new interiors, from the lobby to the Grant Grill, blend updated Art Deco furniture and decorative objects seamlessly with the belle époque bones of the hotel. Rooms feature original French art, custom imported wool carpets and marble bathrooms. The staff tends to guests’ desires with old-world aplomb. Spa treatments, from hot stone to deep tissue massage, are available in-room through a local spa.
