The Hotel del Coronado is located on the 7.4-square-mile island of Coronado, which is in San Diego Bay and linked to San Diego by bridge. This Victorian-era hotel, known simply as "The Del," has a prime beachfront location, with full or partial ocean views from many of its guest rooms. Built in 1888 and now a National Historic Landmark, the resort has played host to U.S. presidents, King Edward VIII (who abdicated the throne to marry Coronado resident Wallis Simpson), Thomas Edison, L. Frank Baum, and Charles Lindbergh, among many others. The resort was also one of the backdrops for the movie Some Like it Hot, and it's rumored to have its own ghost. There are several pools, a beach, and programs for children and teenagers. The Spa at the Del has ocean views and hydrotherapy-focused treatments. The resort hosts weddings and has meeting space as well.
