The Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation reopened the doors to the famed U.S. Grant Hotel in downtown San Diego.
The tribe bought the hotel in 2003 for $45 million. The tribe spent $52 million on renovations.
The purchase was significant because the hotel was built for former president Ulysses S. Grant, who signed the executive order that set aside the Sycuan Reservation.
