San Diego's Hotel del Coronado is a legendary property, one that has hosted a long list of presidents over the years and even served as the backdrop for Marilyn Monroe's "Some Like it Hot."
The iconic property is synonymous with luxury and elegance. But even the most revered hotels need a facelift now and then.
In the case of Hotel del Coronado, construction has commenced on a new vision of San Diego's world-renowned seaside resort. With approvals from the city of Coronado and the California Coastal Commission, The Del (as it is affectionately known by locals) has begun implementing a $200 million master plan that was created to be a roadmap for the beloved property's future.
The significant effort will include a phased development to preserve, revitalize and produce new aspects of the property. All of which is slated to be complete in late 2021.
"We have a lot in store for Hotel del Coronado," said General Manager Harold Rapoza Jr. "In 2018 The Del celebrated its 130th anniversary. Now we have the privilege of ushering in this next chapter, in which we rejuvenate The Del's timeless story with restorations and the addition of new, unprecedented experiences that will create memories for generations to come."
