Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • Blending Old World charm with modern elegance, this stunning 1887 hotel holds over 130 years of history—now, it's waiting for your love story to join its rich legacy. Located in San Diego's iconic Gaslamp Quarter, the Horton Grand may be one of the city's oldest hotels... but it's also one of the most thoughtfully renovated, preserving the distinct architectural heritage of its past while showcasing a level of hospitality that feels decidedly up-to-date.
  • The Courtyard, a unique New Orleans-inspired interior plaza accented by light-wrapped trees and anchored by a large fountain, connects to the elegant Regency Ballroom through a wall of French doors, creating a seamless indoor/outdoor flow. Another set of doors leads into the Salt & Whiskey Private Dining Room with its warm Victorian-modern atmosphere, complete with hammered tin ceilings, plush leather banquettes, and ornate chandeliers.
  • Custom wedding packages are tailored to each couple's vision and designed to delight every guest. Chef-crafted, seasonally inspired menus are joined by a top-tier bar program, including a vast collection of rare, hard-to-find scotch and whiskey. Both locals and out-of-towners will relish the chance to indulge in the hotel's luxurious lodgings, which feature wrought-iron balconies, handcrafted antique furnishings, and marble fireplaces.
