DELectable Welcome For early risers, The Shack is open for south-of-the-border style breakfast on weekends. The Del has undergone many changes over the last century. If you look carefully, you can see them in architecture and design features that span 131 years. Every change reflects world events or social movements of that time. In these ways The Del, itself, is like a book of history. It is my privilege to be here at the start of The Del’s next evolution. As you walk around the resort, you may notice changes that are already in progress. The Del of tomorrow will preserve its rich history and architectural treasures. Simultaneously, it will delight generations The future of The Del is exciting, but you are our first priority. I sincerely ask that you allow us to make your stay as comfortable and memorable as possible. We hope you treasure your stay at The Del of today, and look forward, as I do, to The Del of the future. Sincerely, of travelers with new neighborhoods throughout the resort that appeal to many interests, but share a singular focus on what has always been the essence of The Del—the relaxed and effortless feeling of Southern California. Our plans include 142 new guestrooms and a spectacular new conference center. After Harold Rapoza, Jr. summer, work will begin to restore The Del’s original front porch, where Jack Lemmon and General Manager Tony Curtis famously met actress Marilyn Monroe in the 1959 classic movie, Some Like It Hot. 619.522.8100 | HOTELDEL.COM 3
