Coronado Hotels, San Diego

Coronado hotels are tucked onto San Diego's North Island. Coronado is joined to San Diego by a meandering peninsula, called the Silver Strand, connecting to the mainland by two separate roads. Both roads intertwine with the San Diego Freeway, one by Sherman Heights and the other at Imperial Beach near Castle Park. Coronado Island hotels fill with more than 2 million visitors annually seeking an area great for vacations that encompasses everything needed for a fun and exciting getaway. Plenty of things to do, many local attractions, and more than fifteen excellent Coronado Island beach lodging options create a fantastic destination.

Glorietta Bay Inn is a top choice among Coronado hotels. Glorietta Bay Inn—which sits right on Glorietta Bay—is a premier boutique hotel only one block from the beach and a few minutes' walk from shopping and dining. Top-notch guest services, a idyllic location, and a decade of history come together in a winning combination. A sweeping range of rooms provides accommodations for many tastes, group sizes, and budgets. Impressive furnishings and decor throughout the hotel illustrates high standards. A host of great amenities, a diverse array of special touches, and many nearby activities are all found at Glorietta Bay Inn.

Built in 1902 and featuring an impressive success rate, the El Cordova Hotel is another Coronado Island beach lodging option close to Mission Bay and a short drive south of La Jolla. The "hacienda atmosphere" engages thousands of visitors each year and plays off natural surroundings perfectly. Once home to a wealthy San Diego industrialist, the mansion was expanded and converted into a hotel in the 1930s and has been a hit with tourists and locals ever since. Nearby, the Coronado Bridge connects guests to the heart of the city via an easy jaunt across. The Silver Strand is only steps away and offers access to the best beaches near Coronado Island hotels.

Coronado is well known as a pricey destination, but even this island has budget accommodations.

Situated only a block from Hotel del Coronado and a slew of white sand beaches, this hotel offers great value. Thirty rooms are available, all with an array of bed sizes to suit many situations. Free parking for rental cars, complimentary breakfast, a well-kept courtyard and garden, and easy walking distance to museums, cafes, and other attractions makes La Avenida Inn a winner in Coronado Island beach lodging.
