The Bower Coronado, California
Set on the historic grounds of a former Japanese tea garden, the 39-room Bower Coronado opens this February with a wabi-sabi-inspired design from San Diego firm Delawie and New York- and California-based SFA Design. Channeling Coronado’s coastal charm, the architecture juxtaposes materials like limestone and patinated metals with raw textures. Dive, the city’s first rooftop bar, will boast views from Point Loma to Mexico.
