The Grand Hotel features a distinctive, two-story wrap-around veranda with white iron lacework that cuts a sharp profile against the modern glass towers nearby. Built in nineteen twenty-six, it served as a primary social hub for travelers arriving by ship. During the Second World War, American servicemen packed the downstairs bar while officers stayed in the rooms above. The floorboards still creak underfoot in the hallways, carrying the weight of thousands of boots that passed through here during the Pacific campaign.
