Inside Hotel del Coronado’s $550 Million Transformation - AFAR
"The meticulously restored historic building, originally opened in 1888, reintroduces guests to turn-of-the-century elegance with modern comforts: a grand, reimagined entrance flanked by citrus and palm trees; a recreated Naiad Queen statue in a lush, period-appropriate courtyard; a restored birdcage elevator and a six-foot-tall original stained-glass window; and guestrooms that blend botanical prints and contemporary furnishings with classic period design so the experience reads like Downton Abbey meets a California beach retreat." - AFAR
