Overview

The El Cordova Hotel is a swanky Spanish-inspired circa 1902 establishment set on the shores of Coronado Beach, California. It is just a quick 5-minute drive from downtown San Diego, which is home to many dining, shopping, nightlife, and entertainment options.

Unique, colonial Spanish-style rooms and suites are spacious and comfortable with modern decor. Most rooms and suites offer full kitchen facilities, including a stove-top and cookware for self-catering options. Guests can choose between standard rooms, king rooms, queen rooms, one and two bedroom suites, and grande suites.

Rooms and suites are lavishly furnished and feature flat-screen televisions, coffee makers, spacious tiled bathrooms, air-conditioning, plush bedding, crisp linens, custom bath products, signature mattresses, cozy sitting areas, and a workspace. Large suites and rooms include kitchens, spacious living areas, dining rooms, and sofabeds.

All rooms are kid-friendly. Laundry and room service are available.

Business travelers can utilize the multiple meeting rooms, which boast plenty of space for corporate functions, conferences, and social gatherings.

A hot tub and a large heated outdoor pool are complete with a sundeck and lounge chairs. A spacious courtyard offers space for reading, socializing, and enjoying a cup of coffee.

There is an onsite restaurant which serves upscale Latin-inspired fare. Guests can dine at the multiple nearby dining options, and some favorites are Miguel’s Cocina and Brigantine Seafood & Oyster Bar.
