A Retreat Off the Beach: An Overview of Hotel Marisol Coronado

Entrance to the Hotel Marisol CoronadoOutdoor Seating at the Hotel Marisol Coronado

Located in the center of the beautiful Coronado Island, only a block away from Coronado Central Beach, is the incomparable, award winning Hotel Marisol Coronado.

Just a few blocks from some of our team's favorite Coronado hotels such as the boutique restored 1906 Lodge, the old-fashioned luxury and modern charm of the Glorietta Bay Inn and the iconic and historic Hotel Del Coronado, this hotel fits right in!

And while awards like making Business Insiders 30 Best Boutique Hotels in America is quite the honor, I want to offer you some personal perspective on this property and why our team loves it so much.

Small in Scale, Big in Charm

The building, constructed in 1927, has operated as an inn since its beginning. The current owners have added modern conveniences while preserving the history and grandeur of a by-gone era.

The rooms and suites in this pet-friendly hotel are simply yet stylishly furnished. You’ll notice that same level of attention in the details of the rooms that is reflected in the decor throughout the hotel, down to the Italian linens and original artwork.

You can relax in your room or enjoy the comfortable outdoor furniture in the courtyard and garden. But no matter how you choose to spend your time on the property, you’ll surely feel the small touches and details throughout.

Speaking of groups, you can also host a wedding or business retreat on the property, utilizing the meeting room and the outdoor space. The 24-hour front desk can help you with arrangements for any event or schedule excursions on the island and nearby San Diego.

What I Love Most About the Hotel Marisol Coronado

The experience at the Hotel Marisol Coronado is different from what you can expect to find at a large chain San Diego hotel.

To give you a better idea of its standout features, here are a couple of my personal favorite aspects of the hotel that are reasons I think you should consider it for your next trip to the area.

A True Boutique Experience

If you want to step away from booking a chain hotel and try something new, well then I can’t recommend the cozy, small-scale feel of the Hotel Marisol Coronado enough!

You’ll feel the difference when you enter the private courtyard and are greeted with a glass of champagne at check-in by the friendly, professional front desk staff. Since there are so few rooms on the property, you really get to feel catered to, which made my stay extra special.

I’m not the only one who thinks this is an excellent example of how boutique hotels can elevate the guest experience - our whole team thinks so too! We love it so much that the Hotel Marisol Coronado is listed as one of our top picks for the Best Boutique Hotels in San Diego alongside some of the finest hotels in Coronado like the previously mentioned Glorietta Bay Inn and the 1906 Lodge.

Conveniently Visit the Best of Coronado

There’s nothing better than having short travel times to tons of attractions right outside the hotel or a short drive over the Coronado Bridge. The location of the Hotel Marisol Coronado makes it the perfect headquarters for your Coronado Beach vacation.

Though the Hotel Marisol Coronado may not be right on the beach, it’s still close enough that you can get there easily, especially if you take advantage of public transit options such as the Island Express electric shuttle. And like many Coronado hotels, you’re never far away from the San Diego Bay either!

Be sure to stop by one of the cafes or shops on your way there to grab a snack, have a cool drink, or get a keepsake to take home with you.

Enjoy the Sun

Take advantage of San Diego’s near-constant sun and warm weather and spend as much time outside as you can. Spending a day at the beach is a no-brainer, but there are lots of other outdoor attractions too near the Hotel Marisol Coronado as well.

For example, practice your swing at a local golf course! The hotel has the par-72 Coronado Municipal Golf Course just over a mile to the east and the Sea 'N Air Golf Course less than 5 miles away to the northwest. For a local tip, grab the electric shuttle app, reserve the Island Express electric shuttle, and they’ll happily take you and your clubs right to the course!

If you’re flying into the city via the San Diego International Airport (SAN) and not planning on renting a car, another great way to get around Coronado is via bike! It’s a leisurely way to tour the island for sure, but if you’re really looking for a challenge, cross the bridge to San Diego proper and take on the 24-mile bikeway!
