The Hotel del Coronado enjoys an historic legacy, one that dates back 130 years, but the big story this year is what’s new at the property—The debut of Shore House at the Del and the just-unveiled fully renovated Beach Village neighborhood. With a century of history that features a cast of movie stars and presidents, The Hotel del Coronado (aka The Del) is legendary for creating lifetime memories, which is why so many people return each year. The two new residentially styled accommodations are rather like sanctuaries within the resort—offering guests access to all of The Del’s historic charms, beachfront, golf, tennis and more but also delivering on privacy and exclusivity.
The Shore House experience starts at check-in with a dedicated resort entrance and valet entirely separate from the buzzy lobby energy of the main hotel—the 300+ room Victorian. Shore House is smaller and more intimate with only 75 seaside one, two and three-bedroom residences. It offers Pacific Oceanfront charm and specialness within a sleek modern shell, including amenities such as private terraces, nicely equipped kitchens, and washer/dryer. Guests also have a dedicated zero-edge ocean-view pool with plenty of day beds, lounge chairs, and private cabanas to choose from, as well as a private poolside bar. Lounge areas with firepits, a spacious lobby and fully appointed bistro with a dedicated space for chef's table events round out the offerings. The comprehensive breakfast buffet spread leaves little reason to wander off property for a bite and a self-serve to-go market is on hand for snacks.
Each room enjoys beach and ocean views given the property’s angled architecture—shaped like a sleek V—each residence has a porch that looks out onto the ocean. Finishes are clean and modern with heavy emphasis on aquamarine and indigo hues—pops of seafaring color in the otherwise muted grey and cream palate. Beds are obscenely comfortable—and when you pop your window to hear the ocean at night you’ll be lulled into the kind of deep and profound sleep that only the ocean tide can inspire.
Beach Village sits on the opposite side of the resort and offers similar perks to those of Shore House. A gated community of beachfront cottages and villas, the Beach Village neighborhood recently completed a multi-phase renovation of cottages and villas. The new looks feature sleek and stylish interiors with sophisticated finishes, new kitchens, a cool ocean-inspired color palette and of course access to private jacuzzi areas as well as dedicated valet and concierge check in. The renovations touched the entire neighborhood—from each individual cottage to the three secluded pools and shared spaces. Many feature ocean views with private terraces, just be

Everywhere I turn in Athens, my past rises up to meet me. That café was once a pastry shop where our babysitter would buy us treats when I lived here as a child—pain au chocolat for my brother, lemon-filled doughnut for me. We moved to the US when I was seven, but I've returned to Greece nearly every summer since I was 14. This square is where I scored scalped tickets to the 2004 Olympics. That church is where I lit candles every year on my annual trip, in hope or gratitude: Let me do well on that exam, find a job, get pregnant.
The 2024 sporting calendar is out. The opportunities for luxury tourism are literally everywhere, with different events waiting to whisk you around the world and back, leaving lifelong memories along the way. Some events—Wimbledon and Formula 1 come to mind—have a history of providing luxury hospitality year after year. Others might not have the same long history, but their novelty is too precious to pass up. Olympic breakdancing in Paris? Check. Major League Baseball games in Seoul? Yes, that too.

After some gentle winter sunshine to warm your skin and soothe your soul? Take a trip to Gozo, an island with wonderful coastal scenery a short ferry ride from Malta. Walk along the coastline; swim in untouched waters on secluded beaches and admire the neo-Romanesque architecture of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Blessed Virgin of Ta’ Pinu. Spend the evenings eating freshly caught fish with a glass of Maltese wine, which rivals its Mediterranean neighbours in quality. Laura B
