The Legend Lives On at Hotel Del Coronado
January 18, 2018
And there’s no better time to frolic on the beach like Marilyn Monroe in
Some Like it Hot
than during its 130
th
anniversary in 2018.
This California gem has charmed travelers from around the world since 1888 with its beachfront location, luxury accommodations and elegant soirées. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977, Hotel del Coronado is an American beauty to treasure.
The Legend Lives On
as the hotel honors this milestone anniversary with a dynamic roster of experiences that solidify its place in history as the place for a Grand American Beach Vacation.
“The property has this tremendous allure and every guest who stays here is part of our heritage,” said General Manager Harold Rapoza, Jr. “For 130 years, we have hosted millions of ‘Del memories’—for Hollywood celebrities and British royalty to generations of families gathering for their iconic beachfront photo with the turret. This anniversary both celebrates the past and looks forward to the next 130 years - the legend lives on.”
A Year of Epic Events kicks off in February
With special events held throughout the year, the grandest fete is the
Icons + Masters Anniversary Gala,
a black-tie celebration with five of the nation’s French Master Chefs on Saturday, February 17. Guests will first enjoy a gallery showing of some of the world’s most iconic stars, seen through the lens of legendary celebrity photographer
John Russo
, and enjoy an incredible menu collaboration from
Xavier Salomon
,
Olivier Dubreuil
,
Steve Benjamin
,
Frederic Castan
and The Del’s own Patrick Ponsaty and Stefan Peroutka. Together, the chefs will create a five-course dinner inspired by vintage menus of The Del, capped off by dancing and entertainment, courtesy of a multi-piece orchestra. Guests will receive a commemorative charger plate and the night’s menu etched in metal. VIP ticket holders will enjoy a special champagne reception in the Coronet Room, an autographed Master Chefs of France cookbook and an opportunity to mingle with John Russo and the culinary lineup.
Continue the celebration on The Del’s actual birthday, Monday, February 19, where the community of Coronado will join guests and city members for a complimentary sunset champagne toast, followed by a stunning fireworks display set to music by DJ Hevrock. Following the finale, ticketed guests will walk to 1500 OCEAN for a spectacular
130
th
Anniversary Dinner
where Patrick Ponsaty takes a modern twist on one of the original menus from The Del’s first chef Frederic Pierre Compagnon.
Legendary events will continue throughout the year including the following:
