The restoration of Hotel del Coronado‘s iconic Victorian building is now complete.

The building’s renovation is the final milestone in Blackstone Real Estate‘s more than $500 million USD plan to enhance and reinforce the legendary resort in San Diego, California.

“From its earliest days, Hotel del Coronado has been a pioneer, continuously redefining the resort experience,” said JP Oliver, managing director, Hotel del Coronado. “After this transformative journey, we are proud to set a new benchmark for resort excellence and continue exceeding expectations for a new era of guests and visitors.”

The renovation of the Victorian building 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 (including the iconic Crown Room), and the addition of two new dining destinations: Nobu Del Coronado (outdoor-indoor, 156-seat restaurant serving Chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s signature Japanese cuisine) and Veranda (an al fresco dining experience with ocean views).

Rob Harper, head of asset management Americas at Blackstone Real Estate, said, “Blackstone has been dedicated to preserving Hotel del Coronado’s iconic status as a National Historic Landmark while ensuring it remains a timeless destination for future generations. We are so proud of the thoughtful collaboration that brought this more than $550 million project to fruition and are thrilled by Hotel del Coronado’s transformation into a modern, premier hotel for the enjoyment of guests, visitors, and the San Diego community.”

Bringing together top design and architecture talent, the meticulously executed, full property-wide restoration prioritized historical accuracy. Collaborators included Wimberly Interiors, in partnership with WATG, and GSB Inc., Burton Studios, who served as Architect of Record for the Victorian Garden Courtyard, and David Marshall of Heritage Architecture & Planning, who provided historical architecture consultation throughout the duration of the project.
