Set in the calm waters of San Diego Bay, with white sandy beaches and an island feel, Coronado is the perfect place to stay.

Coronado would have been an island if it wasn’t for a small spit of land joining it to the city. It still feels like an island though and that’s why it has so many hotels and resorts. Who wouldn’t love a beach holiday with the city just a stone’s throw (or ferry ride) away? The landmark Hotel del Coronado has been a local institution since 1888 and Orange Avenue has shops, restaurants and art galleries.
