A Legacy of Luxury

GrandStay was founded in 1987 with a single vision: to create a hotel where every guest feels like royalty. What began as a 40-room boutique property in the heart of the city has grown into one of the region's most celebrated luxury destinations.

Our founder, Eleanora Chase, believed that true hospitality is a deeply personal art form. That philosophy — that every guest has a story worth honoring — lives on in everything we do, from the handwritten welcome notes to the customized pillow menus.

Today, GrandStay employs over 300 hospitality professionals who share that same commitment to excellence. We've grown, but we've never lost the warmth and attention to detail that made us who we are.
