Hotel del Coronado in San Diego has announced the completion of the revitalization of its iconic Victorian building. This marks the final milestone in Blackstone Real Estate’s more than $550 million restoration plan to enhance the guest experience at Hotel del Coronado.
The completion of the Victorian Neighborhood encompassed a total restoration of its front porch and lobby, main entry and drive experience, as well as updates and enhancements to all Victorian guestrooms, the Victorian garden courtyard, event spaces and the addition of two new dining destinations: Nobu Del Coronado; and Veranda, an oceanfront al fresco dining experience.
Hotel del Coronado’s revitalized Victorian guestrooms elevate the property’s heritage with luxurious modern accents. Headboards are crafted from woven vinyl raffia, while floral wallcoverings reference the hotel’s lush gardens. Victorian-inspired light fixtures and lamps introduce notes of romantic elegance, and the bathrooms feature spacious vanities inspired by antique washstands and classic checkerboard marble flooring.
Drawing inspiration from the hotel’s historic wraparound veranda, Hotel del Coronado’s Veranda restaurant captures the elegance of the property’s past while embracing contemporary design. When Hotel del Coronado opened in 1888, a 20-foot-wide veranda encircled the building, offering a continuous walk of 1,800 feet around the hotel. This feature allowed visitors to take in the ocean breeze. The Veranda restaurant’s menu pays homage to Hotel del Coronado’s Southern California roots with a focus on locally sourced ingredients and purveyor partnerships.

Nobu Del Coronado offers an array of Nobu-signature dishes alongside sushi creations and a selection of locally inspired, Southern California dishes. The outdoor-indoor restaurant features 156 seats, 120 of which are situated al fresco, with views of the Pacific Ocean, as well as an eight-seat sushi bar and 12-seat Pagoda Bar, offering selections of sake, Japanese whiskeys and cocktails. The restaurant also offers 3,700 square feet of oceanfront dining space that serves as an ideal venue for private events.
Hotel del Coronado’s Victorian ballrooms, including the Crown Room, Coronet Room and Ocean Ballroom, have all undergone a meticulous restoration. These revitalized spaces seamlessly integrate historical preservation with state-of-the-art technology and design. Key features include a thoughtfully preserved 1888 fresco in the Ocean Ballroom, refinished original wood floors, carefully restored doors and a balcony, installation of updated lighting and sound systems, and more.
The Victorian building’s central garden courtyard has also been restored, complete with historic walkways and pergolas.
Beyond the completion of the Victorian Neighborhood, Blackstone’s comprehensive development has also transformed the entire resort, including the launch of Serẽa Coastal Cuisine; the addition of Shore House, part of LXR Hotels & Resorts, a distinctive oceanfront residential experience in a modern beach house setting; Southpointe event center, with a 15,000-square-foot ballroom and adjoining lawn; the debut of the Ocean Club in the historic Windsor Cottage; and a full renovation of Beach Village at The Del, LXR Hotels & Resorts, an enclave of oceanfront cottages and villas. The restoration also introduced revitalized guestrooms in The Cabanas and The Views Neighborhoods, along with upgrades to other dining venues; a refreshed Spa & Salon at The Del and expanded fitness center; development of the historical Ice House Museum; new meeting spaces; and retail experiences at The Shops at The Del.
