Hotel Del Coronado-San Diego CA Dining with a View

One of our favorite cities to visit is San Diego, Ca.  It is truly a gem in California and has such a wonderful diversity of things to see and do while you are there.  The one place that needs to top every couple's list is a visit to Coronado Island and the Hotel Del Coronado.  Many of the locals and a lot of the tourists know it as the Hotel Del.  It is on the National Historic Landmark list and has hosted many famous people as well as a ghost that is said to be in residence. It was built over 120 years ago. There is a long promenade of wonderful shops and well as several restaurants.  The Crown Room hosts a magnificent Sunday brunch that continuously gets accolades as "San Diego's Best".  Reservations are needed ahead of time. Babcocks and Story has the high def TVs going for all the sports fans to marvel and have a drink while watching your favorite sport. Eno is Hotel Del's wine and cheese bar.  It has over 50 types of cheeses from around the world along with famous chocolates and truffles. The wines they have are a vast array of over 500 different types from around the world.  Last but not least, our personal favorite restaurant is the Sheerwater because of its beach front location. Not only is the food wonderful with its fresh seafood and bistro menu, it is a fabulous place to people watch and if you get there near sunset, it will provide you with the most breathtaking sunsets over the Pacific. If you want to walk off the wonderful food, stroll hand in hand down the boardwalk or beach.  It is a memory you will not soon forget.
The Hotel Del is definitely a place that you will not only want to linger at for its wonderful amenities and rooms but also for it's rich culture, ambiance and style.  Just don't forget to get there early for a great table and that something special sunset.

Till next time...bon voyage!
