Hotel del Coronado has completed an extensive $13 million, two-year renovation of the California property that includes the original Victorian guestrooms, Beach Village villas and cottages, common areas, and dining venues. Looney & Associates, Jane Dillon Design Group, Joyce Design Group, and EDG Interior Architecture all took part in the redesign.
Dallas-based Looney & Associates led the design of the hotel’s lobby and restored it to evoke the charm of the original 1888 resort. The intricate ceilings and woodwork have been refinished, and new period style lighting-including pendants, sconces, and a refurbished chandelier-have been installed throughout the lobby and gallery.
The firm also transformed all 368 guestrooms and suites in the original 126-year-old building. The rooms incorporate the property’s history with Victorian-era motifs in rich fabrics, textures, and geometric patterns. A soothing color palette of soft cream and gray is accented by cool lilac, ocean blue, and warm peach to reflect the coastal setting. New furnishings have been constructed of natural materials such as woven leathers, wools, embroidery, teak, and cerused walnut.
The redesign of the 214 guestrooms in Ocean Towers and 97 California Cabanas, completed by Palm Beach, Florida-based Jane Dillon Design Group, takes inspiration from Southern California. Traditional elegance is combined with a beach-inspired motif, with a citrus lime, warm gold, and cerulean blue color palette and transitional-style furnishings. Warm wood and white accents complement linen bedding, vibrant throw pillows, abstract art, and striped woolen bed throws for a quintessentially California look.
In addition, Blue Dolphin family suites have been added to Ocean Towers. These family-oriented suites house a newly renovated master king bedroom and sitting parlor along with a beach-inspired kids’ bedroom, complete with sand-colored carpet, linens, and playful artwork.
Designed by Dallas-based Joyce Design Group, the Beach Village villas have been renovated with a palette of soft blue, vibrant turquoise, and beige. These redone interiors incorporate wood and glass lamps, beach-inspired artwork, and transitional-style furnishings, as well as new Conrad shades embellished with sparkling glass.
Completed by San Rafael-based EDG Interior Architecture + Design, Sheerwater restaurant now has a relaxed California coastal style reminiscent of Coronado’s early-20th-century atmosphere. Hues of blue and green complement the bright white millwork and weathered wood tables, and new lighting with linen shades accentuates a residential motif. The Babcock & Story Bar also received new seating, wood floors, area rugs, wall coverings, and window treatments for a contemporary twist on its Victorian roots.
