Hotel Del Coronado | San Diego, California | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

San Diego, California

5 stars

‘The Del’ as the Coronado is known as has been open for business since 1888 and is a designated National Historic Landmark! Indeed, it’s been the backdrop to many a Hollywood movie, including Some Like it Hot starring Marilyn Monroe. The last of California’s stately old seaside hotels, it is a monument to Victorian grandeur with virtually no two rooms alike and a sumptuous wood panelled lobby that has to be seen to be believed. Recent additions include Shore House at The Del, an elevated hotel experience in an extraordinary neighborhood of seaside villas. From an oceanfront pool that blends seamlessly into the horizon, to an inviting living room that flows effortlessly outdoors, Shore House offers an extraordinary sense of place, where family and friends form deep connections in a rare beachside setting. The Del's newest restaurant inside the beautifully restored Laundry building. Dine outside on the lawn and watch the action at the BBQ Pit or gather inside the historic brick building beneath vaulted ceilings and the Laundry's original conveyor system. Pull up a stool at the historic wooden bar from the 1880s for inventive cocktails, beer and wine.

“Beautiful sunset from one of the bars”

Mar 25, 2026Genesis4ever

We didn´t stay a night at the hotel, but we walked inside and out, and it´s a beautiful hotel. We had a meal in one of the bar (outside, near the pool). And it has lovely views at sunset .... on a beautiful clear day without clouds!

“Mixed review”

Mar 23, 2026Michael R

1. We found the refrigerator didn’t work in our first day and called and asked for maintenance. They finally sent someone out in the 3rd day who said he fixed it but he didn’t.So we never had the use of a refrigerator. 2. We paid $700 per night for the room. We were in The Views. The room was the equivalent of what you would find at a Holliday Inn Express. 3. We had housekeeping service only one day out of the four we were there. On the flip side. A. The atmosphere of the hotel is awesome. It is an iconic hotel. B. It has been recently renovated. C. There is a variety of good although expensive restaurants.

“Total disappointment!”

Mar 22, 2026vleimback426

I rarely leave reviews, but this stay was honestly one of the most disappointing experiences I’ve had, especially for the price. We booked a quick beach getaway at Hotel del Coronado expecting to enjoy the ocean, only to find out after arriving that the beaches are unsafe and essentially unusable due to ongoing sewage contamination. This is not a new issue, yet there was absolutely no warning or disclosure when booking. The beach is the main reason people stay here, and not being able to use it completely defeats the purpose. We arrived late Friday night and left early Sunday morning, so we had no real opportunity to make other arrangements. For over $700 per night, this felt incredibly misleading and frustrating. To make matters worse, the amenities did not make up for it. The pool area is small, overcrowded, and there’s barely anywhere to sit. The chair cushions are visibly worn out, deteriorating, and falling apart—which is shocking for a property at this price point. Valet is another issue—there’s no way to call ahead for your car. You have to physically go down and request it, then wait around 30 minutes. And that’s for $79 per night. Overall, this stay did not come close to matching the expectations set by the price or reputation. Between the unusable beach, lack of transparency, overcrowded amenities, and poor valet experience, it simply isn’t worth what you pay. I would strongly recommend doing your research before booking, especially if beach access is important to you.
