Visit official site →"The Gaslamp's architecture is best appreciated from the street: the Romanesque cornices, the ornate cast-iron facades, the Victorian commercial storefronts that have survived successive waves of redevelopment because the neighborhood was simply too economically marginal to demolish and rebuild until it became fashionable. The Horton Grand Hotel at 311 Island Avenue has a free lobby that preserves the original 1886 interior and is worth five minutes of anyone's time."
