The centerpiece of the 125th anniversary celebration is the release of a new coffee-table 208-page history book, Hotel del Coronado History, featuring over 440 images, most of which have never been published before, including behind-the-scenes snapshots of Marilyn Monroe during the 1958 filming of Some Like It Hot! There are also personal photos and reminiscences that go back to the resort’s earliest days, along with vintage memorabilia such as menus and brochures.

The Del will also honor its 125th anniversary with a year-long partnership with United Through Reading (UTR), a national military program which helps ease the stress of separation for military families by having deployed parents read and record books for their children to watch as DVDs. To help fund this effort, the hotel will donate $1.25 from the sale of each new history book and sponsor additional fund-raising events throughout 2013.
