Granger Hotel Gaslamp Quarter

A 1904 Romanesque building exuding elegance, intimacy, and grace was carefully renovated to preserve the structure’s historical features.

Arched windows, extremely wide corridors, original tin ceilings, and a stunning original exterior with elaborate molding supported by lentils are testaments to a grand, bygone era now brought back to life. Here, traditional handcrafted built-ins, artisan mural applications, plaster walls, lime wash effects, and exotic rose-colored marbles set the stage for custom artwork and sultry design defined by vintage pieces from the 1920s to 1970s. The lobby, meanwhile, radiates natural light thanks to 12-foot-tall windows and romantic hues of blush, chartreuse, and cerulean.

Blending old with new and influenced by the sultry flavor of the Gaslamp Quarter, the interiors make stunning use of luxe materials.

Contrasting the late 19th century with the mid-20th century, the hotel presents both eclectic vintage and contemporary design, with imported handmade tiles and exotic rose-colored marble setting a sophisticated tone. Nods to animals—a custom ceiling mural features an abstract elephant and lion motif—along with mixed metals, textures, and shapes are counterbalanced by provocative artwork. Rooms showcase navy and espresso colors, offering a dramatic masculine appeal, while wide hallways are lined by the original 120-year-old doors. The lobby is a lush gathering space with intimate corners, inviting untamed playfulness and limitless discovery.
