HOTEL INFORMATION |
|
As a
National Historic Landmark, the Hotel del Coronado has a rich and
colorful heritage that sets it apart from neighboring Coronado hotels.
From Marilyn Monroe to Charles Lindbergh, from state dinners to the
ghost of Kate Morgan, The Del is an American treasure with over 115
years of fascinating stories to tell. Today, we invite you to create new
memories at this cherished hotel in Coronado.
BABCOCK & STORY
The Del's visionary founders - Elisha Babcock and H.L. Story -
dreamed of building a seaside resort that would be "the talk of the
Western world." Since then, the resort has become a living legend,
visited by celebrities, dignitaries, and U.S. presidents. In fact,
publisher Rand McNally recognized the Hotel del Coronado for enjoying
"more fame and historical significance than perhaps any hotel in North
America."
PRESIDENTS & PRINCES
Ten U.S. Presidents have visited The Del, starting with Benjamin
Harrison in 1891. One of the resort's most famous visitors was England's
Prince of Wales in 1920. He would later become King Edward VIII, only to
give up his throne in 1936 to marry Coronado divorcee Wallis Spencer
Simpson. Many have speculated that they may have first met at The Del.
AMERICAN LEGENDS
The Del has played host to some of America's greats, including Thomas
Edison, L. Frank Baum and Babe Ruth. Famed aviator Charles Lindbergh was
honored at The Del in 1927 after his successful trans-Atlantic flight.
At this lavish banquet, a replica of Lindbergh's "Spirit of St. Louis"
circled the enormous Crown Room ceiling.
HOLLYWOOD CONNECTION
Hollywood has been making movies at The Del since 1901. In 1958, The Del
was the backdrop for the comedy classic Some Like It Hot, starring
Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. The resort has also seen a
steady stream of celebrity visitors - from Charlie Chaplin and Humphrey
Bogart to Brad Pitt and Madonna.
THE GHOST OF KATE MORGAN
What Victorian resort would be complete without a resident ghost?
Kate Morgan checked into the resort on November 25, 1892, and never
checked out. Reports of ghostly happenings have been circulating at The
Del ever since, all thought to be connected to the death of this
beautiful young woman.
Add your own chapter to the rich heritage of the Hotel del Coronado - a
storybook castle rising from the ocean's edge that is every bit as
memorable and breathtaking as when it first opened its doors in 1888.

THE SPA |
When
it opened in 1888, the Hotel del Coronado was considered a premier
vacation and health destination, where the sea-swept air was both
preservative and restorative.
Although early visitors certainly appreciated the therapeutic effects of
saltwater bathing and fresh sea air, these weren't the seashore's only
allure. Victorians were also drawn to the soul-satisfying aesthetics the
seascape provided. The Del's unparalleled oceanfront location gave early
visitors the chance to enjoy one of nature's most inherently beautiful
landscapes: sand, sun and sea.
A century later, the timeless Pacific tides and breezes of this San
Diego spa resort still have the power to restore the mind, body and
spirit.
The new state-of-the-art Spa includes 21 treatment rooms, hydrotherapy,
relaxation areas for men and women and steam rooms. Opening April 2007,
guests will also be able to unwind at the Spa's expansive private
terrace overlooking the magnificent Windsor Lawn and the Pacific Ocean
at this Coronado spa resort. |
