Hotel del Coronado

`

Having recently emerged from a $400 million renovation, this landmark hotel just keeps on getting better. Popular among celebrities and beach-loving families for over 130 years, The Del is ideally located on the powdery white sands of the Pacific coast yet is only a stone’s throw from sizzling San Diego. The 757 guestrooms are split between a number of distinctly different buildings, including the original Victorian beachfront hotel built in 1888, modern Cabanas building just steps from the pool, the beachfront Views building complete with sunset-facing balconies, and the private, luxurious and exclusive Beach Village. Facilities include a slew of great restaurants, numerous outdoor pools, an award-winning spa, shops, watersports and even an ice rink in winter.
