San Diego's historic Hotel del Coronado is temporarily suspending hotel operations for the first time in its 132 year history, citing the impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus as the reason.
"This difficult decision is reflective of the current business environment and not a result of illness or confirmed cases at the hotel," said Hotel Del General Manager Harold Rapoza Jr. in a letter published by the Coronado Times. "Our hotel security team will be on-site 24/7 to ensure this National Historic Landmark remains protected for our future guests."
Hotel Del Coronado is in the process of a $400 million renovation with planned upgrades to almost every aspect of the historic property, including upgrades to all dining & drinking venues, cabanas, rooms, retail areas, the spa & wellness center, and the addition of a new pool and 15,000 square foot event center. Construction will continue so long as it remains permitted under local, state and federal mandates.
