[more]In 1902, the Mediterranean style El Cordova Hotel (Calif.) was counted among Coronado Island's most gracious private mansions. Converted into an elegant lodging, this hotel is conveniently located less than two blocks from Coronado Island's inviting beaches. The San Diego Convention Center, downtown San Diego and the Gaslamp Quarter are within five miles of this property. Railroad tycoon Elisha S. Babcock, the founder of Coronado Island, erected this property as his personal residence. Today, inlaid tile floors, exposed beams and wrought iron accents radiate the same charm that existed when the home was built more than 100 years ago. Property amenities include a heated pool, a landscaped courtyard with barbecue grills, beautifully tiled central fountain and outdoor seating. Additional amenities include concierge and 24 hour front desk services, laundry facilities, on site shopping, business services and conference rooms. All interior spaces are smoke free. Filtered sunlight drifts from the latticed ceiling of Miguel's Cocina, known for its delectable Mexican cuisine, or diners may choose Brigantine for its relaxed atmosphere and seafood and steak specialties. Bino's CafÚ offers pastries, omelets, sandwiches and salads for breakfast and lunch. The El Cordova Hotel's 40 guestrooms feature a variety of floor plans, most of which are decorated with wood grained furnishings, colorful fabrics and earth toned tiles. Accommodations offer cable television, writing desks and complimentary high speed Internet access. Select suites feature full kitchens, dining areas, and windows that open to let in fresh ocean breezes. The El Cordova Hotel welcomes travelers to enjoy the warmth and hospitality of Coronado Island from the vantage of the hotel's richly historic setting.
