Opened in 1888, the Hotel del Coronado is a National Historic Landmark and one of the most recognizable hotels in America — a vast, romantic Victorian beach resort of white wood and distinctive red conical roofs, set directly on the golden sand of Coronado Beach. For well over a century it has welcomed presidents, celebrities, and royalty, served as a beloved film location, and become a symbol of San Diego itself.
The resort sprawls across beachfront grounds, combining the historic Victorian main building with newer accommodations, and offers full resort amenities: pools, a spa, a range of restaurants and bars, beach service, and direct access to one of the best beaches in the country. The grand wooden architecture, the ballroom, and the seaside setting give it a timeless, special-occasion atmosphere. Even non-guests come to stroll the grounds, dine, and walk the beach in front.
Its Coronado location is across the bay from downtown San Diego — reached by the Coronado Bridge or the scenic bay ferry — in the relaxed, upscale village, which keeps it a touch removed from the city's bustle while remaining easy to reach. The Del suits travelers seeking a historic, full-service beach resort with genuine landmark status, ideal for special occasions, families, and anyone wanting the quintessential Coronado experience.
