Hotel del Coronado, built in 1888 by Elisha Babcock Jr. and Hampton Story, is a National Historic Landmark and the second-largest wooden structure in the United States. The property completed a $550 million renovation adding Shore House villas and restoring the original Victorian wing. Thomas Edison supervised its first electrical system, making it among the earliest electrified hotels in the world. 1906 Lodge, designed by architects Will Sterling Hebbard and Irving Gill, offers 17 individually themed rooms two blocks from the beach — originally a boarding house for aviation students at North Island, the property was restored in 2009. Glorietta Bay Inn, the former John D. Spreckels mansion, blends mansion-wing suites with modern rooms directly across the bay from the Hotel del Coronado.
Hotel Marisol Coronado and Cherokee Lodge provide smaller-scale alternatives along Orange Avenue, both carrying strong Google ratings. The Bower Coronado rounds out the boutique category. Most visitors reach the island via the Coronado Bridge from the Gaslamp Quarter or by ferry from the Broadway Pier, docking at the Ferry Landing where Coronado Tasting Room and bayfront restaurants wait steps from the gangway.

Guest rooms, public spaces, and grounds have been modernized while preserving the landmark Victorian architecture. Here's what's changed and what it means for Coronado visitors.
