Hotel del Coronado

BeachLGBTQ+ WelcomeHotel

Set on one of America’s most iconic beaches, the legendary Hotel del Coronado has welcomed discerning travelers for more than 134 years to experience the Southern California coastal lifestyle at its best. Here, the nostalgia and magic of the resort’s storied past blend beautifully with contemporary luxury and signature experiences. Hotel del Coronado provides five distinct neighborhood experiences, including Shore House at The Del, the hotel’s new oceanfront residential suites; the private enclave Beach Village at The Del, with spacious cottages and villas; The Cabanas, where refined coastal design complements a sparkling pool, serving as the social center of the resort; The Views, the hotel’s home-base for coastal adventure; and The Victorian, where guests find stunning Victorian architecture and experiences to match.

Known for its spectacular beachfront setting, architectural beauty, and iconic skyline, Hotel del Coronado is a beloved destination for wedding couples and honeymooners seeking one-of-a-kind experiences. One of the world’s last remaining Victorian-era seaside resorts, The Del pairs its timeless elegance with year-round sunshine, glistening golden sands, and balmy ocean breezes to make every wedding worthy of the history books.

In addition to its scenic Southern California location and exquisite views, The Del features an abundance of unique dining options and service styles, ranging from casual to elegant, overseen by The Del’s talented and passionate culinary team led by Executive Chef Stefan Peroutka and fifth-generation French Master Chef Patrick Ponsaty. From unique tray-passed hors d’oeuvres and craft cocktails to meticulously plated meals and lavish buffets featuring locally sourced ingredients, the award-winning culinary team tailors feasts fit for kings and queens and their guests. For the sweetest part, The Del’s pastry team creates show-stopping custom wedding cakes and pastries for every planned occasion.
