Hotel del Coronado USA Magnet

The Hotel del Coronado is an iconic Victorian beach resort located on Coronado Island, across the bay from San Diego. Often simply called 'The Del', it is instantly recognisable for its grand red-roofed turrets and ornate wooden architecture against the Pacific Ocean backdrop. Opened in 1888, it was designated a National Historic Landmark and is a masterpiece of American design. The hotel has welcomed presidents, royalty, and celebrities, and it served as the backdrop for the famous film 'Some Like It Hot', staring Marilyn Monroe, which only added to its legendary status. As one of the last remaining massive Victorian structures of its kind, it continues to capture the essence of luxury and beachside charm. Its location on the sprawling white sand beaches of Coronado makes it a popular destination for visitors seeking historic elegance and seaside relaxation.
