GRAND DAME OF SAN DIEGO MARKS 125 YEARS

Opened in 1888 and designed to be “the talk of the Western world,”the landmark Hotel del Coronado in San Diego is celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2013. Throughout its rich history, The Del has played host to presidents, royalty and Hollywood’s elite and was the glamorous setting for Billy Wilder’s comedy classic Some Like It Hot, starring Marilyn Monroe and Jack Lemmon. The Del celebrates this milestone year with a series of dining and spa specials, guest packages, community events, charitable promotions and the release of a new history book.
