Hotel Del Coronado

Tags: San Diego , Leisure (All tags)

Paid a visit to a "friend" at the Hotel Del Coronado a couple of nights ago and was stunned by the holiday season display. People go there just to see the magical display.

Didn't have time to check out the whole property but I know they usually covert a small outdoor space to an ice rink.

Expensive to stay there for sure, but it costs nothing to visit and roam the grounds. Combine that with a walk on the beach (mere yards away) for an enjoyable time.

I agree 100% - The "DEL" is a GEM!
Absolutely amazing property located on one of the highest ranked beaches in the world!
You can sit up at the pool top bar/restaurant area and have a nice meal while watching the sunset.
Hilton bought it and is doing a major remodel, even adding a Nobu restaurant.
Have a great day everyone!

I absolutely LOVE the Del. Have stayed there many a time, for small vacays with family, including the infamous “haunted” room. I believe “some like it hot” with Marilyn Monroe was filmed there, and the hotel touts that fact for recognition. It’s a beautiful resort, and the island is quaint and niche. Glad you were able to spend a little time there, the gent you went to see obviously has exquisite taste in accommodations. Xoxo Merry Christmas

I didn't walk through there but I did pass by an entrance to the shops below the main level.

I go there every year at Christmas time for dinner.
It's expensive, but magical - Christmas lights, ice skaters, and ocean sounds

@Grumpu_Butthead

Great pic! Those 6 people sitting at that table are probably in sensory overload!

As much as I would like to, I don't think it would be a good idea to go their high! Might scramble the brain (even more than it already is!).

My favorite Italian joint, Marios is across the street.

It is too far to travel there, but it is worth it if that ever made sense.

I haven't been in a while. It's such a beautiful place so I can only imagine how magical it looks!



People don't put up lights and decorations that much anymore. I was so disappointed last year and it seems like this year is about to be the same. I'll definitely have to make a visit this week! I LOVE ❤️

A couple more.

Parking can be a pain. 3 blocks away in the residential area it's free.
Best to get off at Market st. from the 60 east bound.
