About the Hotel
Glorietta Bay Inn is a century-old mansion originally built by sugar magnet John D. Spreckels in 1908. Its envious location, overlooking the bay on lovely Coronado island across the harbor from downtown San Diego, is just one block from the beach and steps away from a fleet of upscale shops and restaurants that line charming Orange Avenue. The rooms, housed in both the original mansion and a more modern annex, are all newly-remodeled with varying appointments. Those who slumber beneath the storied roofs enjoy extra plush bedding and fabulous views, plus turndown service with milk and cookies left bedside for late-night noshing. All guests are privy to an expanded continental breakfast and afternoon refreshments. The inn also has a refreshing swimming pool for anyone wanting to take a plunge.

Reviews for Glorietta Bay Inn
Perfect 25th Anniversary trip
We celebrated our 25th anniversary with a trip to Coronado. Our accommodations at the Glorietta Bay Inn were perfect. We had a spacious room with a beautiful view of the bay. The staff members were friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We were steps from the Hotel Del, beaches, and restaurants. We look forward to returning to the Glorietta Bay Inn.

Lovely Hotel
The Glorietta Bay Inn is such a lovely gem of a hotel, made even better by the wonderful, warm, friendly staff. We stayed here for four nights and loved every moment. We really appreciated how clean everything is - although it isn't modern, nothing is worn or dated, and it smelt clean and fresh. The pool and hot tub were the perfect temperature, and the breakfast was delicious! We also loved being able to go into the lobby to use the microwave or get something we needed. I will note that we chose this hotel specifically because we have allergies and cannot stay at pet-friendly hotels, and the front desk staff told us that they will be changing to a pet-friendly hotel soon. Sadly, we won't be able to stay at the Glorietta again because of this. But if allergies are not a concern for you, I'd highly recommend it.

Hidden gem of Coronado !
It is a beautiful setting, location was perfect for our spending time on the Coronado Naval base. We were able to walk to so many amazing restaurants and shops. The biggest surprise, I always request a box fan when traveling and it was actually in the room when we arrived! It’s the simple things sometimes. The breakfast on the veranda, watching the boats was highly enjoyable in the mornings. Absolutely recommend!!!

John Dietrich Spreckels, Legendary
. Great historical adventure. John Dietrich Spreckels was so underrated. The Mansion is amazing and the grounds are beautiful..quite beautiful actually, clean rooms great breakfast, very nice ans helpful staff. I've been visiting Coronado for almost a decade and never knew how influential J.D. Spreckels was to the island or the Arizona railroad. Felt the spirit here.

Our guests were very impressed!
We had guests come to town from Ireland for a festival, and they stayed at the Glorietta Bay Inn. They absolutely loved it! Charming. Historic. Easy walking distance to everything Coronado has to offer. Breakfast was great. The staff was exceptional -- attentive, helpful, friendly. The hotel made Coronado -- and us -- look good.

We stayed at Glorietta Bay in the Sugar Baron Suite. The overall experience was outstanding with service world-class. We would definitely stay at the Glorietta Inn again.
