San Diego - 4 days itinerary

It was a dark and stormy night when I woke up in San Diego—because that's where I live.

"Here goes nothing," I say.

The coffee in the pot is stale—who knows how old.  The days all seem to run together ever since.... I shake the memory out of my head and pull on some warm clothes.  

I'm leaving the house to visit the most haunted places in San Diego.  I pray I'll make it home.

Hotel del Coronado, Curio Collection by Hilton

Built in 1888, the Hotel del Coronado is one of the last surviving wooden Victorian beach resorts in the world. It's also the second-largest such structure in the United States.

It is said to be haunted by the ghost of Kate Morgan, who stayed in room in 1892 #3327 and never left! Guests have recalled several paranormal instances.

Fun fact: Frank L. Baum got his inspiration for the Emerald City in the "Wizard of Oz" book series from this hotel's structure.

The Hotel del Coronado is an iconic beachfront resort. Families flock to this historic gem, especially in the summer, to enjoy enchanting movie nights on the beach, creating cherished memories against the backdrop of the Ocean. The hotel is also very easy to access from downtown, the airport, North Park and South Park. 

An iconic and must see spot of San Diego! The Hotel Del Coronado has undergone a lot of remodeling recently but they kept the charm! From their signature restaurant Serea to their gorgeous pools overlooking the ocean their simply isn't a place like it in California!

You can’t miss this historic and beautiful hotel in the beach of Coronado . Staying here is pricey but is a great reference to walk around 🚶‍♀️ , lay down at  the beach 🏖️,and take some pictures 📷 

A beautiful coastal hotel that featured in Some Like it Hot starting Marilyn Monroe! There are so many restaurants to choose from including Serea and the Taco Shack on the beach. 

Enjoy sun, sea, and time together at the iconic California beach resort, blending idyllic charm with golden-era allure for a seaside escape.

This charming and historic hotel provides beach front fun and relatively easy access to the downtown scene.

Housed in a grand 1888 Victorian property, this upscale beach hotel is 5 miles from downtown San Diego.

Suggestion from The Discoverer. Famous. Reminds me of Grand Floridian.
