Sean Miller

If you are visiting San Diego, you must stop and visit the Del. Beautiful hotel with lots of cool restaurants and speciality shops to see. The beach outside is one of the best in the city .

El Doosty

You'll be well-attended here. But get dropped off if you're just visiting. Or valet. Or park on the street and let the meter run out. All alternatives are cheaper than hotel Guest Parking .

Lorenz Lammens

It is one of the few surviving examples of an American architectural genre: the wooden Victorian beach resort . It is the second largest wooden structure in the United States .

Jake Smith

Even if you aren't staying, this place is great for an afternoon, a few drinks, and a lunch or early dinner . Pricey , but worth the opportunity. Even walking through the lobby is a great experience.

Lorenz Lammens

Hollywood discovered 'the Del' during the era of prohibition. Many celebrities came here including Douglas Fairbanks, Rudolph Valentino, Charlie Chaplin, Clark Gable, Errol Flynn and Mae West.

"Some Like It Hot," a comedy starring Marilyn Monroe , Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis was filmed at the Hotel del Coronado in 1958.

Emilio Chavez

This is a very classic and historic hotel in San Diego. Even if you don’t plan on staying here as a guest is a good place to visit while you are in the city .

Richard Revilla

The hotel just celebrated 130 years. Everything is pricey but the food is excellent and the staff helpful.

Nelly Tejeda

Nice atmosphere and great service. The buffet at the restaurant is one of the Best I have ever had (for breakfast ). Great pastry

Self-park ($50/night) instead of valet ($75/night)—ask to temporarily park your car at the valet areas to load/unload your luggage so you’re closer to your room, and then garage . Free EV chargers too.

Lorenz Lammens

Some Like It Hot (starring Marilyn Monroe , Jack Lemmon, and Tony Curtis) was filmed here. Watch this hilarious movie while you're near.

Jenna Rose Robbins

Fabulous architecture , ocean breezes, and scrumptious (albeit pricey ) food. What else can you ask for? Rumor has it Frank Baum wrote parts of the Wizard of Oz here.

Heather Blanchard

Go to the Del Beach cabanas while they set up! You can lay in a cabana for free until they boot you out. Great way to spend 90 minutes with morning coffee , snuggled, watching the ocean. #winning

Ruth Bye

Magnificent historic hotel site. Walk in the lobby and out to the beach for a beautiful Pacific Ocean vista.

David Bernal

Splendid hotel with tons of charm and beautiful decorations. A pice of the San Diego history that it worths to see once in a lifetime.

Blan Saag

What a beautiful place to be. There’s a reason why is called one of the best classic hotels in the world

Kevin Borchers

I've been coming here since I was a kid. It's probably my favorite hotel on earth. Even if you don't stay, the beach is worth a trip over from San Diego.

Minifer Supertramp

Amazing wooden construction , beautiful hotel ???????? it's worth the visit even if you're not staying there.

Retro Campaigns

When President Franklin Roosevelt (pictured in the back seat at left) stayed here on October 1, 1935, he flew the presidential flag, making the hotel his official temporary residence.

Grab a beer on their awesome deck and enjoy the great views and sunsets . Also awesome ice cream place just inside

Iris Rodriguez

Beautiful, historic hotel . Some Like it Hot starring Marilyn Monroe was filmed here. Check out the hallways with pics from the film . Ask for an ocean front room. Pricey rooms, but worth every penny.

Beautiful hotel . Amazing beach . Sat outside in late December, enjoyed the warm sun, and ordered cocktails and chips w salsa and guacamole . Their salsa is delicious! Guacamole is very fresh.

The holiday light were awesome, the bar on the beachfront is a must! Bring friends, the sunset is amazing from the patio .

Christopher Pestano

An icon in Coronado. Stop by for a cocktail and enjoy a good view of the beach .

Suzette Valle

The Windsor Cottage belonged to Wallace Smith! She lived in Coronado and later married the future king of England who had to abdicate because she was, well , not a suitable Queen (among other things).

Mitch Devine

It costs $20 to park at the hotel for 2 hours. Plus $10 for every extra hour. Or, for 25¢ (or was it two quarters?) you can park for 2 hours using the parking meters across the street. (Bring change.)

Josh Parolin

Wireless Internet on the sun deck . Bring your computer and work remotely with a beach view (and an expensive Budweiser ). #thegoodlife
