CORONADO    San Diego County

The Resort One-third sun. One-third sand. One-third fairytale.  Rising from water's edge on the quaint Island of Coronado in San Diego, the Hotel del Coronado is considered one of America's most beautiful resorts.   A classic historic hotel, The Del was built in 1888 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977.

Although early visitors certainly appreciated the therapeutic effects of saltwater bathing and fresh sea air, these weren't the seashore's only allure. Victorians were also drawn to the soul-satisfying aesthetics the seascape provided. The Del's unparalleled oceanfront location gave early visitors the chance to enjoy one of nature's most inherently beautiful landscapes: sand, sun and sea. The Del's state-of-the-art Spa includes 21 treatment rooms, hydrotherapy, relaxation areas for men and women and steam rooms. Opening April 2007, guests will also be able to unwind at the Spa's expansive private terrace overlooking the magnificent Windsor Lawn and the Pacific Ocean at this Coronado spa resort Spa services include a variety of skincare and massage techniques, full body treatments including body exfoliation, herbal and mineral body wraps and mud therapy, water therapies, foot and eye enhancements.
