Hotel del Coronado

Hotel del Coronado is a National Historic Landmark and one of the most recognized beachfront resort properties in the United States, a Victorian-era grande dame on Coronado Island near San Diego that has operated continuously since 1888 and served as the filming location for Some Like It Hot, among dozens of other Hollywood productions that have made its red-roofed silhouette one of the most photographed resort images in American travel. The Curio Collection by Hilton affiliation provides planners with the brand infrastructure and points currency of Hilton while the property's independent heritage and 28-acre beachfront footprint deliver an experience that no new-build resort can replicate. For groups that want a marquee historic beachfront address in Southern California with full-service resort amenities, large meeting capacity, and genuine landmark status, the Del is the most compelling single-property answer in the San Diego market. Similar properties worth benchmarking include Hotel Galvez in Galveston and The Don CeSar in St. Pete Beach for groups drawn to historic beachfront resort character.
