Coronado, CA 92118
There’s a distinct class of hotels that transcend all others. Such is the beautiful Hotel Del Coronado found on the Coronado island in San Diego.
Guests who have visited Disney World may find themselves doing a double take. Did they transplant the Grand Floridian Resort to the West Coast? They’re partially right. The Hotel Del Coronado is the resort that the Grand Floridian is modeled after.
This majestic resort was built in 1888. Now a historic landmark, when built it was to be the “talk of the Western world.” That it became with royalty and dignitaries among its guests. Ten U.S. presidents have stayed here as well as a host of celebrities.
Its seaside location is unrivaled. If surfing the Pacific isn’t to your liking, relax poolside while enjoying the ocean breezes. No doubt the salt air will have you work up an appetite. The onsite dining venues run the gamut from casual to upscale.
The Museum Market serves salads, sandwiches, imported and domestic cheeses, pates and a selection of California wines. At the Babcock & Story Bakery you can sip on gourmet coffee creations and enjoy fresh baked pastries and breads. At the Sun Deck Bar and Grill you can dine on wonderful grilled specialties with the Pacific Ocean as your backdrop.
Try to include a Sunday during your visit to San Diego so you can experience the famous Sunday Brunch. This takes place in the elegant Crown Room. It’s so named due to the crown shaped chandeliers designed by Frank L. Baum, author of the Wizard of Oz.
In addition to traditional breakfast fare there’s an International station featuring seafood and specialty cured meats, an assortment of fine cheeses, Asian inspired fare, Mexican specialties, hot entrees, salads, Butcher’s Block, pasta station and if you’re still hungry, dip into the chocolate fountain or dive into the rest of the amazing dessert choices.
Another fun Sunday experience is the Victorian Tea served in the Palm Court. If you’re visiting the Hotel Del during December, this traditional ritual takes place daily.
At Sheerwater you can dine on an outdoor terrace or in front of one of the giant fireplaces. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served at this lovely spot and the little ones can choose from the kid friendly children’s menu.
For the ultimate dining experience, 1500 Ocean is the place to go. You enter through a terrace with fabulous views of the Pacific. The terrace also offers seating in an intimate environment. The signature glass wall glistens with sunset hues as you dine on the finest Southland Coastal Cuisine.
The guestrooms range from the quaint, cozy rooms of yesteryear to lovely spacious suites. While the Hotel Del Coronado takes great pride in its heritage, the accommodations are modern with all of the comfort and amenities you would expect to find at a fine resort. There’s their signature line of toiletries, plush robes, daily newspaper, minibar, 24 hour room service, in-room safe, voice mail, high speed internet, hair dryer, iron/ironing board and turn down service when requested.
Additionally, the concierge staff will assist you arranging tours, dining and transportation. Mom and Dad can enjoy a night out when they take advantage of the babysitting service offered. Valet parking, car rental and airport shuttle are also available.
Of course, what upscale resort isn’t without a spa? The hotel Del is no exception. Schedule facials, massages, body wraps for a bit of well deserved pampering. There are also treatments designed for teens.
This expansive resort sports its own shopping center with 20 shops to browse. Clothing, including logo merchandise, jewelry, fine art, fun toys, books and just about anything you might want can be found here.
If you’re not a Marilyn Monroe fan, you’ll soon become one when you catch one of the showings of the movie “Some Like it Hot.” If this 1959 classic starts to look familiar, you’ll soon understand why. It was filmed at the Hotel Del Coronado. Photos from this great movie are on display throughout the resort and one of the consistently best selling souvenirs is the leather bound screenplay.
Legend has it that there was one guest who checked in but never checked out. Back in 1892, Kate Morgan vanished during her stay and it’s rumored that her ghostly apparition still roams its manicured grounds. This lore is part of the Hotel Del's Victorian charm.
Whether it’s for one evening or a week, you owe yourself a stay at one of the truly classic resorts of the world. Stroll where Presidents once tread, dine where Babe Ruth, Lindbergh and Thomas Edison once were feted, and become a star for a day as you’re treated like Hollywood royalty.
The Hotel Del Coronado combines the very best of yesteryear with the demands of today’s traveler. You’ll step into history, sleep in luxury, and have a once in a lifetime experience at this amazing, incomparable resort.
