ʻO ka Hotel del Coronado kaulana kahi laʻana nui o ka nani Victorian kuhikuhipuʻuone e hāʻawi ana i kekahi o nā kahakai kahakai maikaʻi a kaulana loa i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.

Ua hāpai ʻia ka Del e nā mea kālepa waena waena komohana, ʻo Elisha Babcock, Jr. a me Hampton L. Story nāna i kūʻai ka 4,100 eka i kūkulu ʻole ʻia ma ka peninsula o Coronado no $ 110,000. ʻO Babcock kahi kahu kaʻaahi i haʻalele ʻia mai Evansville, Indiana a me Story ka mea nona ka Story & Clark Piano Company ma Kikako.

Ua hoʻolimalima ʻo Babcock lāua ʻo Story i ka hale kuhikuhipuʻuone o Reid & Reid ʻo James W. Reid (1851-1943), Merrit J. Reid (1855-1932) lāua ʻo Watson E. Reid (1858-1944) i noho ma Evansville, Indiana. I ka hōʻea ʻana i Coronado, ua ʻōlelo ʻo James Reid, “I kekahi lā aʻe, e ʻike ʻia ana ma Coronado wale nō i Kekemapa, ua kipa mākou a pau i ke kahakai. ʻAʻole i loaʻa kahi wahi ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma nā wahi āpau. ”

Ua hoʻomaka ʻia ke kūkulu ʻana ma Malaki 1887 me nā limahana limahana Kina akamai ʻole he nui e hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia ma ka hana e nā kamana haku, nā paipala a me nā mea hana lima ʻē aʻe mai Kapalakiko a me ʻOakland. Ua loaʻa ʻo Babcock i ka nui o ka poʻe hana e hoʻokele i ka wahi kūkulu i iwakāluakūmāhā mau hola i ka lā.

Ua hoʻonā ʻia ka hemahema o ka lāʻau me nā ʻaelike no nā kuleana kūʻokoʻa i nā hana lāʻau maka a pau o ka Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Company o Eureka, Kaleponi. Ua kūkulu ʻo Reid i nā mīkini wili palaoa, nā pā, nā hale kūʻai mea hao a me nā hana hao ma ka pūnaewele. No ka wikiwiki e kūkulu, ua hoʻonohonoho pū ʻo Reid i nā pahu wai, nā mea kahe kahe o ka umekaumaha, ʻelua mau lua wai nunui e mālama i ka wai ua a me ka umu aila mua ma kahi hōkele hou. Ua hoʻonohonoho ka Mather Electric Company i nā kukui uila, he honua mua. Ua kī ʻia nā pōhaku lepo i loko o ka lua ahi i kūkulu pono ʻia no ka papahana a ua hāʻawi ʻia e ka San Diego Granite Company kahi pōhaku mai nā ʻūhā ma Temecula Canyon. I kēia manawa, ua kauoha ʻia nā noho ʻauʻau mai ʻEnelani, china mai Palani, nā ipu aniani mai Pelekiuma, 21,000 mau pā o ke kapeta mai Lowell, Massachusetts a me nā noho lāʻau mai kahi mea hana lako hale ma Bosetona. ʻO ka luna nui mua o ka hōkele ʻo John B. Seghere, i pāpālua ʻia ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻonaninani o loko.

Minamina, i ka wehe ʻia ʻana o ka Hotel del Coronado hou loa i Pepeluali 1888, ua hiolo ka piʻina ʻāina Kaleponi hema. Ua loaʻa ʻo Babcock lāua ʻo Story i kālā hou aʻe na John D. Spreckels, Kāpena Charles T. Hinde, HW Mallett a me Giles Kellogg. Na 1890, ua kūʻai hope ʻo Spreckels iā Babcock a me ka moʻolelo. Ua hoʻomau ka ʻohana Spreckels i ka kuleana o ka "Del" a hiki i ka 1948.

Noho paʻa ka hale kumu ʻelima mau papa a hoʻohana piha ʻia me ʻelua mau ʻāpana hou kokoke i ke kahakai. Ke nānā ʻia nei ka lumi lumi aliʻi ʻo ia kekahi o nā hanana kuhikuhina nunui o ka honua me kona kaupaku kiʻekiʻe paina kō i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me nā kui lāʻau wale nō. ʻAʻohe o nā kui a i ʻole nā kākoʻo kūloko a no nā makahiki he nui i manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia ka lumi nui ʻole kolamu ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.

Ma hope o nā manawa pōkole o ka lilo ʻana o Robert A. Nordblom, ka mea hōkele ʻo Kansas City Barney Goodman a me ka mea kālepa ʻo San Diego ʻo John S. Alessio, ua lilo ʻo M. Larry Lawrence i hānau ʻia ma Chicago i mea nona ma 1963. No nā makahiki he iwakālua i hala, ua hoʻohana ʻia he $ 40 miliona no ka hoʻoponopono ʻana a ke hoʻololi nei i ka plumbing, uila, hoʻomehana, hoʻokomo a me nā laina kuke kuke. Ma muli o ka Del ke kūkulu lāʻau nui loa o ka honua, ua hoʻokau ʻo Lawrence i kekahi o nā ʻōnaehana pīpī Grinnell ʻoi loa e hāʻawi i ka maikaʻi loa i ka palekana ahi. Ua kūkulu nō hoʻi ʻo ia i ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike Nui Hall e hoʻolilo i ka Del kahi o ka hui nui a me ka holomua loa o ko Kaleponi Hema wahi a me nā wahi hālāwai. ʻAneʻane piha piha ka hōkele iā ia iho me nā pono o hope o ka hale: ka hale kūʻai pipi, ka palaoa palaoa, nā mea ukana hale a me nā hale kūʻai lako pono; uila, paipu, mīkini hale kūʻai; kahi holoi lole ma ka hale a me kahi hoʻomaʻemaʻe maloʻo.

Ua mahalo nui ʻia ʻo Lawrence no kāna kūleʻa kālā ponoʻī, akā ʻaʻohe mea i ʻoi aku ke aloha iā ia ma mua o kona hoʻihoʻi hou ʻia ʻana o kekahi o nā wahi kaulana o ka honua, nā inoa o nā wahi kai moana ʻAmelika - ka Hotel del Coronado.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻia he nui aku ka poʻe kaulana o nā hana noʻeau, hoʻokipa, haʻuki a me nā honua politika i kipa aku i ka Hotel del Coronado ma mua o nā hōkele ʻē aʻe i ʻAmelika Hema. ʻO nā poʻe malihini kipa ʻia ʻo Thomas Edison, Charlie Chaplin, King Kalakaua o Hawaii, Vincent Price, Babe Ruth, James Stewart, Bette Davis a me Katherine Hepburn. I kēia mau lā, ua komo nā malihini me Kevin Costner, Whoopi Goldberg, Gene Hackman, George Harrison, Brad Pitt, Madonna, Barbra Streisand a me Oprah Winfrey.

Ua noho nā pelekikena aʻe ma ka hōkele: Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald ʻO Reagan, George HW Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush a me Barack Obama.

ʻOiai ʻo ka Del kahi o nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni he nui, ʻo ka mea kaulana paha ka ʻO kekahi poʻe e like me kaʻenaʻena (1959), me Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon lāua ʻo Tony Curtis.

Ua hoʻohui ʻia ka Hotel del Coronado i ka National Register of Hist Historis Places i ka makahiki 1971 a ua koho ʻia i National Historic Landmark ma 1977.

I Malaki 2016, kūʻai aku ʻo Blackstone i nā Hotel Strategic & Resorts i ka Anbang Insurance Group, kahi ʻoihana ʻinikua Kina i hoʻokumu ʻia ma Beijing, ma kahi ʻaelike $ 6.5 biliona e pili ana i 16 mau hale hōkele waiwai ʻAmelika e like me ka Hotel del Coronado. Ua hoʻoili koke ʻia he ʻumikūmālima o ka ʻumikumamāono iā Anbang. Eia nō naʻe, ua mālama ʻia ke kūʻai aku ʻana o ka Hotel del Coronado ma muli o nā hopohopo i hōʻike ʻia e ke kōmike kūloko o ke aupuni pekelala no nā hoʻopukapuka haole ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, kahi e loiloi ai i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā ʻoihana US e nā mea hoʻopukapuka ʻē no nā pilikia kūloko kūloko. Ua hopohopo kēia ʻoihana e pili kokoke ana i ka hōkele i nā kahua nui o nā Navy ma San Diego. I ʻOkakopa 2016 ua hōʻike ʻia ua hāʻule ka ʻaelike a e noho ka hōkele ma ka ʻona o Blackstone.

I ʻAukake 2017, ua mālama ʻo Hilton Hotels a me Resorts i ka hoʻokele o Hotel del Coronado ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o kā lākou Curio Collection.
