About

En Route operates inside Hotel Del Coronado at 1500 Orange Avenue in Coronado, selling premium luggage, leather handbags, and travel accessories from a retail space embedded in the resort's shopping arcade. The business traces to 1996, when it launched under the name Naturally Yours before rebranding to En Route in 2012 to sharpen the focus on travel gear. Current inventory features Tumi and Briggs & Riley hardside and softside luggage, Hammitt and Hobo leather handbags, and Brighton accessories — the same resort-guest demographic that books treatments at Spa at The Del in the same complex browses the handbag wall between appointments. Packing cubes, travel pillows, and organizers fill out the accessories wall for guests who realize mid-trip that they need a gear upgrade on Coronado Island. The Hotel Del Coronado location puts En Route at the southern anchor of Orange Avenue, where the resort's year-round visitor flow generates steady walk-in traffic for a store that would struggle to sustain a standalone luggage concept elsewhere on the island. Coronado shopping for travel goods had limited options before this store carved out the niche, and the 92118 ZIP anchors it on the island rather than requiring a trip across the Coronado Bridge to mainland retailers. For garment care before packing, Luxury Cleaners - Coronado handles same-day dry cleaning and pressing for resort guests and residents. En Route's handbag department rotates seasonal colorways across the Hammitt and Hobo lines, with the Brighton collection available exclusively in-store rather than through the brand's own e-commerce channel.
