A U.S. National Historic Landmark, the legendary Hotel del Coronado was built in 1888. Its visionary founders, Elisha Babcock and H.L. Story, dreamed of creating a seaside resort that would be “the talk of the Western world.” A living legend for well more than a century, The Del celebrates its rich history as a proud host to celebrities, royalty, and beach-loving families through timeless experiences that resonate with modern-day guests. As part of a multi-year preservation project, the original lobby and main entrance were restored using historic photographs and blueprints. In 2022, the resort opened an oceanfront hotel, Shore House at The Del, featuring one, two and three-bedroom seaside residences with exclusive amenities.
