Redefined my Hotel expectations

I was totally blown away by the aesthetics of the hotel rooms, the vaulted ceilings, fabulous fixtures, and our shower was so big you could park a car in it! The restaurant downstairs is top notch, and valet parking couldn't have been more friendly and convenient! So highly recommend The Grady!

Check in/out easy and fast. Helpful and attentive receptionists. Thoughtful modern design inside a historic building. Large room, extra high ceiling, large bathroom and huge shower. Great restaurant. A piece of advice, Valet is 50$ a night but as we stayed for a night Saturday-Sunday, street parking after Sat. 6p.m. till Monday is free :)

The best!

This hotel was amazing. The service- check in, check out, valet, everything- was top notch. The facility is so hip and stylish, and the rooms were to die for. I got an incredible night’s sleep on the fluffiest, most luxurious bed with the softest sheets. Five stars!!
