The Bower, a 39-room boutique hotel, is slated to open by the end of February on the grounds of John D. Spreckels’ former Japanese tea garden in Coronado, California.
Rooted in the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, the design embraces the beauty of natural imperfection through organic materials and a tranquil aesthetic.
Honoring legacy through design
The Bower preserves its botanical and cultural history through a thoughtful architectural narrative by Delawie and SFA Design.
The hotel’s interiors incorporate limestone, patinated metals, and artisan woodwork, while the landscape pays homage to the site’s lush origins.
Dive at the Bower Coronado
At the heart of the Bower is Dive, Coronado’s first rooftop bar and restaurant, which offers panoramic views from Point Loma to Mexico. The design of the veue takes cues from 1950s California, blending nostalgic elements with a modern coastal aesthetic to create a destination for both locals and visitors.
