Holidays at The Del
ExperienceLights, Camera, Holiday!
For the 2024 holiday season, we invite you to step back in time to the glittering splendor of Old Hollywood as we celebrate Hotel del Coronado's rich legacy of filmmaking. In honor of the 65th anniversary of Some Like It Hot starring the legendary Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon, the Holidays at The Del will be an unforgettable tribute to Hollywood's golden age.
The Del's Christmas trees and garlands dazzle with Hollywood glamour, reflecting the timeless elegance of Marilyn Monroe and featuring hues of ruby and cherry, soft black, shimmering gold and silver, and adorned with diamonds and pearls.
