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
Fabulous value
The location and property were fantastic. Our room was beyond our expectations and can not beat the location. We only had to drive once in the 3 days we spent here.

Amazing Team and Excellent Inn
The people here are wonderful: friendly, kind, and helpful, from the front desk to the housekeeping staff, to the exceptional breakfast preparer. The beds seem a bit soft, but for me that is a preference. AC works well. Appreciate locks on the window so I can allow a narrow gap of air to come in at night and feel safe. Everything is spotlessly clean. The breakfast is excellent. I have been coming here for probably 30 years and will continue to do so.

Historical Elegance in the Quiet Part of Coronado
I love that this in was built in 1906 by the owner of hotel Del Coronado. Glorietta Bay Inn is a mansion. You can stay in auxiliary building rooms—probably great for families and children or find a room inside the mansion. Our room was quiet and had a comfortable living room with a couch, table/chairs, frig and coffee There’s an elegant marble staircase (no elevator). There are so many historic touches that have been preserved and the furnishing fit right in. If you’d like a charming inn with historic significance, you will love this lodging. And you don’t have to fly to Europe for this experience! There’s a nice smallish pool steps from the beautiful lobby. A highlight is an amazing beautiful turn of the 20th century library that has copper accented doors and high rounded ceiling (serves as the breakfast room). Walk to coffee cafes, restaurants, and shops. And…steps to the Bay snd the beach.

Repeat stay
Super second visit! Lovely hotel with friendly welcoming staff. In a great location, close to the beach, shops,restaurants and bars and the famous Coronado hotel. An historical gem, once the home of John Spreckels who is credited with developing the hotel Coronado.Well worth a visit.

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.

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.
