Hotel del Coronado

A truly special place. We love The Hotel del Coronado—perfect for families or a romantic couples’ getaway. They host fantastic private and corporate events, and the dining options are great, both on property and within easy walking distance. The on-site shopping is excellent, and the spa and fitness center are wonderful additions. The pools are large with plenty of seating, and the beach is one of the most family-friendly in Southern California. Not to mention the breathtaking sunsets. When the weather is too cool for the beach, the seasonal ice-skating rink is such a fun touch. The shoreline walks are beautiful, with sweeping views all the way to Mexico, and I highly recommend the guided walking tour offered through the fitness center. It’s a very safe area, and the military planes and ships passing by provide a unique and enjoyable backdrop. I wholeheartedly recommend a stay at this historic property. We can’t wait to return.

Lovely hotel and location. After spending 4 days at this hotel it is truly something special. The grounds are beautiful, so many restaurants, shops, and snack locations right on the property. The taco hut and beachside bar was our favourite. We loved the coffee and pastries at the quick serve every morning. The beach is lovely. You can walk forever down the beach. The hotel is located between two army bases which you can walk to each way. Steps outside of the hotel is the strip of Coronado. So many restaurants and shops to walk to. Rooms. This is tricky as there are so many different room types to pick from. Some rooms have views looking at the other buildings. We choose to stay in The Views building, no ocean view/front based on other reviews. Upon checkin online you can actually request rooms which is so nice. We chose the 6th floor 6605 room. So glad we did this! Upon walking in there was a floor to ceiling window overlooking the ocean, beautiful tile floors leading into the modern bathroom. Lots of space/storage in the actual bedroom with a long bed and couch. Another floor to ceiling window overlooking the ocean. The reason it’s not an ocean view room is because the balcony is off to the side facing another hotel building. Since we were on the 6th floor we were overlooking the top of the other building and could actually see and hear the ocean from our chairs. Very happy with the room! Big shoutout for the incredible service. Our flight was cancelled and rescheduled a day earlier. The reception at the desk completely understood and helped us out. All of the service throughout the hotel from receptions, shops, restaurants to housekeeping were fantastic. I would absolutely recommend and stay here again.

We did a staycation here over the holidays and we had a great time. Unfortunately it was raining pretty hard while we were there and they had to cancel our igloo on NYE, but the manager Nick went above and beyond to make it up to us. The rooms are recently remodeled and really nice. The decorations on the grounds and the ice skating make it really festive and a must visit over the holidays. I know others have complained about crowds, but it wasn't overly busy while we were there.

Yes, you should visit this property, even if you are not staying there or on the island. It is a stunning icon! I was awed by the gorgeous architecture and beautiful grounds. The beach is gorgeous, wide, and perfect for a stroll or sunset pics. Grab a drink at the bar or explore the shops. The whole area has its own vibe. They have their own Walk of Fame stars.

Stopped in on a Tuesday afternoon for a birthday celebration and fun day. We live in San Diego and have not been to the "del" since shortly after Covid. This is a beautiful hotel filled with shops, bars and restaurants. The building is beautiful to walk through and see the incredible architecture. Our favorite place is the outside patio deck overlooking the beach and ocean. It's a fantastic place to have appetizers and cocktails. The service is always great! Our server, Shiara, was super sweet, was an incredible photographer and took great care of us. The "del" is not to be missed if you are in the area.

We stayed in the Cabana rooms and overall enjoyed our stay - the property is stunning with great amenities and an unbeatable location. That said, for the price per night, some basics fell short: very low-quality toilet paper and tissues, uncomfortable pillows, and a comforter that looked worn from over-drying. We also pulled up to check in and were told we had to self-park before checking in since we weren’t using valet; the self-parking was quite far from the lobby, which wasn’t ideal on arrival. Drinks were wildly overpriced, though that’s expected in a tourist area. A few upgrades (and smoother arrival logistics) would better match the premium pricing.

Wow! This was an incredible two night stay. The history of this hotel jumps out at you as you approach the building. We were warmly welcomed at the front desk by Blair. She found the perfect room for us with a balcony view of the beautiful courtyard in the Victorian building. She also recognized my wife's birthday with a box of delicious chocolates. The room in the Victorian building was newly renovated. Everything looked brand new including the furniture, TV, bathroom, all the doors and beautiful moldings, and balcony furniture. And it was spotless. There's a K-Cup coffee maker and mini fridge in the room The location right on the beach is amazing. There is seating available overlooking the beach as well as beach chairs for use on the beach. There is a paved path along the beach. The common area of the hotel facing the ocean is beautiful! All the restaurants and shops are located in this area with a focus on outdoor space. There are many food outlets. It's expensive as you would expect at a luxury resort. But there are some reasonably priced options also at the taco shack on the beach and the market that sells breakfast items, sandwiches and pizza.

Wonderful property. We were in town for a wedding in December so we enjoyed the beautiful Christmas decorations. The ice skating is available and that is so interesting to see in a beach setting. The rooms were nice and the property well maintained. A little too much outside foot traffic in the lobby made the check in process a poor first impression but that might have been a Friday night anomaly.
