Coronado is a World Class Resort Destination
Just across the bay from downtown San Diego is the picturesque island resort of Coronado. It’s blessed with white sandy beaches, superb restaurants, beautiful historic turn-of-the-century homes, delightful shops, an 18-hole championship golf course and much more.
The original 400-room Hotel del Coronado (9) was completed in 1888 and had the distinction of becoming the West Coast’s first hotel to be equipped with electric lights. Many famous people including presidents and royalty have been guests of the hotel. The magnificent 120-year-old Hotel del Coronado at 1500 Orange Ave. (619-435-6611) is an attraction that should not be missed. It’s also an excellent place to stay, dine and shop.
