PB hotel design editorial

When James Reid drew up the plans in 1887 for a grand resort on the Coronado peninsula, he produced one of the last great Victorian seaside hotels in America — a confection of white-painted timber, red-shingled conical turrets, and wraparound verandas that has somehow survived both the twentieth century and its renovation appetite largely intact. Hotel del Coronado, which welcomed its first guests in 1888, sprawls across the Silver Strand beachfront in a composition of steeply pitched rooflines and cupolas that reads from the air as something between a Bavarian fantasy and a New England summer colony transplanted to the Pacific. The aerial view confirms what the history promises: the original Victorian structure commands the beach, while later additions, including the low-rise beach village completed in phases through the 2010s, extend the campus southward in a palette of white stucco and navy that borrows from the mother building's geometry without competing with it. Inside, the newer accommodation wings show a confident California coastal register — whitewashed oak headboard walls, gold sunburst mirrors, teal-and-sand plaid carpets, cognac leather bench seats on brass frames, and glazed sliding doors that open directly onto Pacific views. The restored bar in the historic building retains its original dark mahogany millwork and turned columns alongside coffered white ceilings, now furnished with contemporary lounge seating and woven rattan chairs in a combination that keeps the Victorian bones legible while giving the room a relaxed, habitable warmth.

Hotel del Coronado, Curio Collection by Hilton Reviews

"I booked a pool pass for the day, and had the most wonderful time. The resort grounds are absolutely beautiful and the amenities are well-curated and easy to access. Truly my visit was made exceptional because of the stellar staff, I'd love to highlight both Norma and Yuri for their help! Embarrassingly, I misplaced my phone while on site and these two went above and beyond to help me find it again. I'm so impressed by their efforts and willingness to go the extra mile. Next time you have a pool day at the Del Coronado, make sure you say hi to Yuri and Norma and rest assured that you will be well taken care of (even if the calamity was entirely your fault)!"

"The Del did not disappoint! The location and historic nostalgia is worth it. They have multiple restaurants on site to choose from and so many shops, beautiful homes, and restaurants to walk to. We utilized the beach chair service where they set up your chairs and umbrella for you and that was so nice. The gym was huge and fabulous as well. My daughter and I also had a spa day. It left a little to be desired. They need to update it. Cushions were worn out and dirty & just not a lot of amenities in general compared to other spas I’ve been to. The best part was the outdoor private pool. Only complaint about the Del is lack of amenities or extras in the room such as magnify mirror, shower caps, teas instead of coffee, etc. Also my sheet had a hole in it and the comforter had a stain. Everything there is very overpriced. They have lots of activities but they’re all way too expensive. The sundeck restaraunt has terrible slow service and they charged me $30 for 2 empanadas and $20 for a small plate of chips. Overall worth the stay and we will be back!"
