| Re: The Grand Californian We stayed at GC concierge last Augus. It is a really beautiful hotel. It is reminiscent of the WL but not as rustic. More elegant, I guess. The service was excellent t has a private entrance to DCA, which was pretty cool. We have also stayed at GF and the designs are so different, its difficult to compare. GF, IMHO, is more formal, but the service is comparable. The Napa Rose restaurant at GC is very similar to Artist Point at WL. A CM told us they were designed by the same person. Actually, we are in southern CA right now and were in DD yesterday. Just walking by the GC made us smile all over again. Hope this helps. |
