The Hotel del Coronado is a sprawling oceanfront resort in Coronado, California, just a bridge crossing away from sunny San Diego. Opened in 1888, the property is filled with historical grandeur, and that’s reflected in the high prices you’ll pay to stay and dine there.
The Del — as it’s often referred to by locals — is unique in that it’s split into five neighborhood zones that comprise three separate Hilton Honors properties: one belonging to Hilton’s Curio Collection of upscale independent properties and two that are a part of LXR Hotels and Resorts, a Hilton luxury brand. I stayed at the Curio Collection property, which encompasses the Victorian neighborhood (the original property) and the two newer Views and Cabanas neighborhoods.
Hilton invited me to stay at the Del in April 2026, roughly a year after the property completed a $550-million restoration. While the property covered the costs of my three-night stay, the opinions in this review of the Curio Collection property are my own.

Booking with points and perks
Since the Hotel del Coronado is part of Hilton, you can typically expect to book a standard room in the Victorian or Views for 100,000 to 110,000 Hilton points per night. If you’re paying cash, the cheapest rates rarely drop below $500 a night, while the most expensive can go for more than $1,000 a night for a base-level room, according to a May 2026 search.
Other ways to save:
Use a Hilton free night award. Another great way to experience the Del is if you have the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card, which comes with a free night certificate that can be redeemed at the Del as long as there is standard room reward availability. The card also includes a $200 resort credit every six months that can be used on eligible charges to your room, which can help offset the high dining costs. Terms apply.

The Del is a grand and impressive property with a Victorian-era charm that has been restored to its original glory. The lobby features dark red wood paneling, a grand chandelier, and floral carpeting, giving it a timeless feel. Throughout the building, you’ll find historical photos of past guests, including Marilyn Monroe, who filmed a movie at the hotel.
The property offers a garden courtyard, where birds are the main attraction, and a large stretch of beach just behind the hotel. The first floor of the original hotel building and its grounds are open to the public, making it a popular tourist attraction.
Each of the Curio neighborhoods at the Del offers a different feel, so choose where you stay carefully. For historical charm, book a room in the Victorian section. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, with some offering outdoor seating areas and views of the garden.
Overall, the Del is a beautiful and historic property with plenty to offer, from its stunning architecture to its rich history. Adding some more furniture, such as a small loveseat or additional table, would have helped to balance out the space. Access to the premium clubs at Hilton, including Diamond Reserve status, is a benefit for elite members. If you have Diamond Reserve status, you will have access to these exclusive clubs. Diamond Reserve status is one of the top-tier statuses offered by Hilton, providing members with a range of premium benefits. sentence: Could you please help me with this assignment?
