Maximalist heritage hideaway
Behind a 1904 Romanesque facade, guest-only social rooms pair playful wildlife motifs with rich velvet upholstery and preserved period architecture.
“A fevered medley of textures and aesthetics define the intensely layered visual language of The Granger.”

Many of its charming original features remain, like the tin ceilings, high arching windows, and grand hallways, and whimsical references to the building’s past…
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Stepping outside onto Fifth Avenue places you amid the Gaslamp Quarter's vibrant nightlife, historic Victorian facades, and nearby Petco Park.
The rooms
Rooms blend navy and espresso palettes with fan-shaped headboards, custom rattan armoires, tin ceilings, and gilded bird bedside lamps.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
The Parlor Room serves locally roasted coffee by morning, then shakes cocktails at night beside salon gallery walls.
How it began
Before the city zoo opened in 1916, this 1904 landmark basement served as a temporary holding pen for bears and monkeys.
