  • Short walk to Orange Avenue shops and a roughly 20-minute walk or 8-minute bike ride from the Coronado Ferry Landing.

Choose The Del for true beachfront location and easy access to island shops and beach activities.

  • Located at 4000 Coronado Bay Rd on the Silver Strand/Coronado Bay side.
  • Short drive to Silver Strand State Beach and offers a complimentary beach shuttle to nearby beaches.
  • Closer to the southern Coronado/Silver Strand corridor and convenient for driving to South Bay destinations.

Pick Loews for bay/marina setting and easier car access to the Silver Strand and south Coronado.

Rooms: historic oceanfront rooms vs modern bayview rooms

Hotel del Coronado – Rooms

Hotel del Coronado offers a mix of historic Victorian rooms and several enclave cottages and suites with ocean or garden views.

  • 679 guest rooms across the main historic building and outlying accommodations.
  • Room types include Victorian Oceanview Room and multiple Garden/Veranda and Cabana options.

Hotel del Coronado – Dining & drinks

Hotel del Coronado has multiple on-site restaurants and bars spanning casual beachfront to upscale oceanfront dining.

  • Seven venues including Nobu Del Coronado (oceanfront sushi) and Serẽa (sea-to-table beachfront).
  • Casual options (Sun Deck, ENO Market & Pizzeria) plus historic Babcock & Story Bar and poolside Breezes.
  • Many venues welcome non-guests; some poolside venues are exclusive to enclave guests.

The Del is the better choice if you want more on-site dining variety and several oceanfront options.

  • The supplier listing notes one restaurant, a coffee shop/cafe, and two bars/lounges.
  • Room service is available during limited hours.
