Hotel del Coronado, part of Curio Collection by Hilton, continues its legacy as a premier destination for meetings and events with a renewed focus on personalized, boutique meeting experiences with the launch of its new “Plan With Ease: Boutique Meetings” program. Renowned for its grandeur and bespoke services, The Del is extending its expertise in curating meetings and events by creating a new experience focused on small meetings set in unique and non-traditional settings, including The Del’s luxurious cottage and villa-style accommodations, Shore House and Beach Village. The Plan With Ease: Boutique Meetings program provides access to a variety of venues and curated activities, ensuring each gathering embodies the signature charm and attention to detail for which The Del is celebrated for. From corporate retreats to executive summits, and intimate workshops to milestone celebrations, every event at the hotel promises to be an unforgettable affair, no matter the size.

To streamline the planning process for groups of 60 or fewer, The Del’s boutique meetings specialist, Kathleen Donley, will leverage the Plan With Ease: Boutique Meetings program to offer simplified contracting, allowing organizers to focus on the content and experience of their event while leaving the logistics in expert hands. The hotel’s dedicated events team will execute every aspect of the event, from day-of coordination to the final farewell.

“At Hotel del Coronado, we understand the importance of every meeting. Our boutique meetings program is designed to provide an intimate setting where ideas flourish and connections deepen,” said Sanjiv Hulugalle, managing director, Hotel del Coronado. “With our unrivaled spaces and personalized service, our goal is to ensure each event is tailored to exceed expectations, creating memories that last a lifetime.”

The Plan With Ease: Boutique Meetings program focuses on:

BOUTIQUE STAYS

Nestled within the resort are two gated exclusive neighborhoods, Beach Village at The Del and Shore House at The Del, each providing a boutique experience ideal for the most elevated small group programs. These luxurious Cottages and Villas provide a sense of retreat, with intimate event venues, ocean-view dining and signature recreation all within reach.

• Beach Village at The Del: A collection of beachfront cottages and villas, the recently renovated Beach Village neighborhood features residential-style accommodations, exclusive pools and personalized service.
• Shore House at The Del: An all-new extraordinary neighborhood, rising at the southernmost point of the legendary hotel, Shore House offers an elevated residential-style experience in an extraordinary neighborhood of seaside villas, as well as a private pool and restaurant.

FEATURED VENUES

Throughout the resort, small groups can choose from several unique and inspiring venues for intimate brainstorming sessions and powerful presentations, including, but not limited to:

• Power Plant: Originally built in 1887 to provide power to The Del and all of Coronado Island, this historic building has been carefully restored and reimagined into a versatile co-working space with multiple breakout rooms.
• Main Beach: Located on one of America’s most beloved beaches, The Del’s private Main Beach offers a stunning setting that scales as needed for receptions, dining and team-building activities.
• Ice House Museum & Legacy Court: Share a behind-the-scenes look at The Del’s rich heritage with an event held inside the museum space, or outdoors in the adjacent al fresco Legacy Court.
• Coronet Room: This beautiful space has all the grandeur of the famous Crown Room on a more intimate scale, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and a dazzling crown chandelier.

GROUP ACTIVITIES

The Del’s expert group recreation team can organize and execute memorable team-building activities, whether groups have thirty minutes or a full day to enjoy beautiful San Diego. Activities include:

• ROAST: Bonfires on the beach have been a favorite tradition at The Del, and now they are available for private groups. ROAST includes up to ten chairs per fire pit, unlimited s’mores, and bottled water.
• Yoga on the Beach: Revitalize the mind, with body and spirit through yoga flows that increase muscle tone, improve flexibility and reduce stress.
• The Salsa Challenge: Spicing up a traditional culinary experience, The Salsa Challenge incorporates it all. It’s a unique blend of teamwork, competition, creativity and charisma. Teams are tasked with creating a one-of-a-kind salsa (or salsas) and delivering a make-it-or break-it sales pitch.
• Jamie O’Brien Surf Experience: As the first and only surf school by Jamie O’Brien on the mainland, beginner surfers can experience world-class instruction on the gentle waves of Coronado Island.
• Operation Care Package: Individually or as teams, guests sort through, organize, and package essential supplies and treats to send to our men and women serving overseas in the military.
