The Del’s $550 Million Glow-Up – Book Your Stay Now!
The legendary Hotel del Coronado, part of Curio Collection by Hilton, is now accepting room reservations for stays in the newly restored Victorian building guest rooms beginning March 1, 2025.
Over $160 million has been invested to revitalize the Victorian building, and the opening of its guest rooms will mark an important milestone in Blackstone’s more than $550 million restoration plan.
Prior to reopening the guest rooms, Hotel del Coronado will reveal its newly renovated Crown and Coronet Rooms, which have been thoughtfully restored and will be available for meetings, events, and group bookings starting in July 2024.
The completion of the Victorian building guest rooms will mark the crowning moment of the multi-year, multi-phase renovation that has preserved and enhanced this National Historic Landmark.
“It has been an honor to be a part of this journey of reinvention of an iconic landmark and one-of-a-kind resort,” said Sanjiv Hulugalle, managing director of Hotel del Coronado.
Celebrating Over 135 Years of History
“The Del has been an iconic and timeless destination for over 135 years, and Blackstone’s more than $550 million restoration process has been rooted in a deep respect for its legacy,” said Rob Harper, head of real estate asset management Americas at Blackstone.
Led by Wimberly Interiors in partnership with WATG’s California architecture studio, the restoration of the Victorian building aims to celebrate the property’s legacy and ensure that the revitalized guest rooms incorporate modern amenities, comforts, and luxuries.
Guest rooms boast restored original finishes, bathroom design enhancements, furnishing and artwork, and state-of-the-art technologies.
