Dear Friends, A warm welcome to you and heartfelt thanks for choosing The Del this season. The holidays are a special time to gather with friends and family to celebrate traditions old and new and create lifelong memories. From a classic Victorian Tea to lavish holiday feasts to our spectacular New Year’s Eve gala, there’s something for everyone at The Del. But while holidays at The Del have been steeped in tradition for nearly 130 years, this iconic resort continues to evolve and create new inDELible experiences whether it’s Sunday Brunch with Santa or a skate across the ice at sunset or an early morning Beach Spin class overlooking the ocean. Speaking of new, this is my fi rst holiday season at Hotel del Coronado which recently joined the exclusive Curio Collection by Hilton as the crown jewel of the brand’s distinctive hand-selected portfolio of independent hotels. I am so excited to be part of this transition and feel privileged to lead this iconic resort into this new chapter. Learn more about the Curio Collection on page 3. We are here to make sure you fi nd your perfect experience. This year’s theme—A Winter of Whimsy, Wishes and Wonder—is brought to life with lots of color, whimsical displays, thousands of twinkling lights and endless enchanting moments and inDELible memories for you and your loved ones. We think you will agree there’s no more magical place than The Del during the holidays and know you will enjoy being a part of our merry-making history. Warmest wishes, Harold Rapoza, Jr.
