Cast your eyes across the Victorian façade of Hotel del Coronado and you might recognize it as the place where Marilyn Monroe strummed a ukulele in Some Like It Hot. This spring the iconic San Diego resort, which has hosted 11 presidents and been designated a National Historic Landmark, unveils a head-to-toe restoration that breathes new life into its 137-year-old finishes. The original stained glass windows are back, and a veranda, designed to replicate the 1888 original, will host cocktails. There will also be plenty of contemporary bells and whistles in the guest rooms, as well as a brand-new Nobu. Style yourself accordingly by packing a wardrobe of earth tones to complement the mahogany of the storied lobby; add a simple flash of gold to invoke the glamour of hotel's past and present day.
