The Hotel del Coronado in Coronado, California, opened on February 19, 1888, according to the infobox, and in February 1888, according to the text. James W. Reid designed it, though the infobox lists Reid & Reid. The Coronado Beach Company, founded by E. S. Babcock and Hampton L. Story, built it.

The infobox calls the style Late Victorian, Queen Anne, and the text calls it a wooden Victorian beach resort. It is the second-largest wooden structure in the United States. The architectural height is 120 feet (36.6 m) over seven floors. The infobox gives 757 rooms, while the text cites 399 at opening.

It became a National Historic Landmark in 1977. Hilton's Curio Collection took over management in 2017, and the hotel closed in March 2020 and reopened on June 26, 2020.
