Make new memories with loved ones at the 134-year-old Hotel del Coronado, a Curio Collection by Hilton property, that recently opened Shore House at The Del.

Take a dip in the zero-edge pool, where views of the Pacific await from your daybed, sun lounger or private cabana. Then, grab a cocktail from the poolside bar and toast to the good life. hoteldel.com
