How a Classic is Transforming Itself at Hotel del Coronado

The legendary Hotel del Coronado is rich in Old Hollywood history, but its glamorous California Dreaming aesthetic reaches new levels in contemporary hospitality with the stunning Shore House at The Del, located on the pristine sands of the Pacific Ocean. These beachfront, residence-style accommodations offer a private beach house vibe, complete with cabanas surrounding a zero-edge oceanfront pool, fire pits perfect for enjoying a crafted cocktail or a glass of champagne, a seaside bistro for alfresco dining, and a surf-themed “living room” featuring a cozy fireplace. Every aspect is designed with breathtaking aesthetics, embodying the ultimate vacation lifestyle. Guests of Shore House also enjoy access to all of the resort’s amenities, including exciting watersports and a spa that taps into the ocean's healing properties.

Your personal retreat

Shore House is the latest addition to the “neighborhoods” that make up the legendary Hotel del Coronado, offering a modern take on the hotel experience. Guests enjoy the convenience of extensive amenities from the comfort of private one- to three-bedroom residences, adorned in a refreshing white-and-cobalt blue color scheme that evokes a sun-kissed Greek island.

Accommodations feature expansive outdoor verandas with views of the ocean, bay, or resort, as well as private stone baths complete with deep soaking tubs. Each residence includes gourmet kitchens and spacious great rooms. Opt for an oceanfront residence to fully immerse yourself in the stunning panoramic views of the Pacific by drawing open the white curtains. With daily housekeeping services, hosting gatherings is effortless and enjoyable.

Make a splash

A visit to this beachfront paradise revolves around the breathtaking pool that appears to flow seamlessly into the ocean. Adorned with comfortable lounge furniture and an ocean-view Jacuzzi, the poolside chairs and circular outdoor sofas provide ideal spots for sunbathing and socializing. The partially shaded private cabanas offer the ultimate poolside experience, complete with flatscreen TVs and all-day cocktail service.

When you want to escape the sun, head to the shared indoor/outdoor living room featuring a grand fireplace—a perfect setting for relaxation and social gatherings. The lobby, an expansive space filled with neutral sandy tones and hardwood floors, is awash in natural light, embodying the airy ambiance of a beach house. While you’re there, consult the private concierge about the resort's exclusive wellness offerings, schedule a spa treatment, or book a romantic open-air dinner.

Day-to-night dining

In the mornings, guests at the property can enjoy breakfast without venturing far, thanks to their exclusive access to the Bistro. This all-day restaurant serves delicious twists on classic dishes. Later in the day, guests can return for a light meal featuring seasonal offerings inspired by California's land and sea. When not lounging in the cozy space adorned with contemporary art reminiscent of a stylish beachfront retreat, relax outside by the soothing sounds of a bubbling fountain.

The Poolside Lounge operates daily, offering food and drinks until 5 p.m. To embrace the sun-drenched golden hour, Shore House presents “Blue Hour,” featuring a special menu and ambiance that aligns with the lighting of the numerous fire pits at sunset. Unwind with a cocktail or mocktail alongside light bites to conclude your day—the sunsets over the Pacific, reflecting on the pristine pool, are truly a sight to behold.
