Hotel del Coronado at Christmas




A trip to the Hotel del Coronado on Christmas Eve is a tradition in our family. The hotel is decorated for the season and usually the weather is the envy of the rest of the world. We are so lucky to have a gem like the ` Del` to visit. This grand hotel has been wowing the world since it opened in 1888 as the largest resort hotel in the world (at that time). It was also the first to use electric lighting. It is hard to believe that the hotel has been around so long. The buildings and grounds are in excellent condition, which is not a minor task considering the number of people that visit each year. At Christmas there is ice skating outside by the beach and the deck overlooking the ocean is full of people enjoying a cool drink in the plentiful sunshine. This is a great place anytime of year, but Christmas Eve is even more special. Enjoy!
