Engage with The Victorian’s 135 Years of Exceptional Hospitality

The Victorian is the epitome of classic elegance, perfect for those wishing to indulge in the enchanting experience of resting where legends like Judy Garland once found their beauty sleep. This iconic hotel, the original gem of Hotel del Coronado, was the filming location for the 1950s hit Some Like It Hot, featuring stars like Monroe, Jack Lemmon, and Tony Curtis. Every beautifully appointed room combines modern amenities with a fresh beachy aesthetic, each offering a unique layout within the charming Queen Anne-style structure.

As you soak in the history and charm of your Victorian surroundings beneath the renowned red turrets, guests at The Victorian can unwind in rocking chairs on the newly renovated Front Porch, while admiring the grand Victorian lobby, lush garden courtyard, and stunning stained-glass windows. History enthusiasts shouldn't miss a visit to the property's new Ice House Museum, housed in the restored 1889 Ice House, which showcases the hotel's rich heritage through exhibits, memorabilia, daily tours, and even a photo opportunity with Monroe.

Make the most of your days at The Cabanas and The Views

With spacious open areas that include a stunning pool and easy access to beach activities, staying at The Cabanas or The Views is ideal for families, groups, and thrill-seekers alike. The vibrant all-ages pool at The Cabanas serves as a social hub. Guests can choose between beachfront rooms featuring a fire pit and a terrace perfect for sunset cocktails, or a poolside option that acts as a private cabana. Enjoy food and drinks from the rooftop Sun Deck, a lively spot to savor quintessential California moments as the sun sets into the ocean.

At The Views, watersports and other activities take center stage, thanks to its close proximity to the beach. Rentals for wetsuits, skim boards, stand-up paddleboards, and surfboards are available, and guests can enroll in private or group lessons. Not surfing this time? Enjoy roasting s’mores, bike riding, beach yoga, or beach spin classes. Then, swing by the Taco Shack for a fresh catch-of-the-day taco, refreshing drink, and live music. When you’re finally ready to unwind, return to your beautiful room or suite with a view, all featuring a private balcony or patio, glass balcony, or outdoor fire pit.

Discover paradise and seclusion in Beach Village

While much of The Del’s design promotes social interaction, Beach Village caters to those seeking a more secluded getaway. This gated community of beachfront cottages and villages offers the ambiance of a vacation home while providing top-notch hotel services.

In addition to features like seating areas with fireplaces and elegant marble bathrooms, guests at Beach Village benefit from a private valet entrance, dedicated concierge service, and exclusive beach access—this neighborhood is the closest to the water. Picture yourself enjoying the soothing sounds and fresh scents of the ocean from your private balcony. Opt for a cottage or villa with a gourmet kitchen, leaving you with the delightful dilemma of whether to dine in or explore all the exciting offerings at Hotel del Coronado.
