Love Story

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone

If we were responding to Taylor Swift’s song lyrics, we would recommend the historic Hotel Marisol Coronado! This beautiful boutique property, accented with decorative Juliet balconies, has a cool, clean, coastal style, popular with couples of all ages. “We love romance!” beams General Manager Shannon Hinzo.

“The hotel has been the backdrop for proposals, weddings, babymoons and endless anniversaries.”

What keeps couples coming back?

“Multiple elements - we are tucked away on a quiet street offering the most elegant night’s rest in an inviting king size bed made up with the best Casa Rovea Italian linens. Guests love to take the intimate, vintage elevator to the drawing room for fresh pastries at breakfast, and enjoy a glass of champagne in our secluded, private courtyard.”

If you were asked to recommend one romantic attraction on this love island, what would chose?

“The Coronado sunset never disappoints,” Hinzo sighs. “The sounds of the ocean, the cool breeze and the beautiful colors of the sky will leave you breathless.”

VALENTINE DINING

Just minutes walk from the Hotel Marisol you can enjoy two very special St Valentine’s menus: Little Frenchie is offering 3 courses for $120 per person, with divine Grand Marnier Souffle or Le Opera Cake for dessert. Stake has 4 courses for $135 per person (with the option of a wine pairing and a deluxe caviar upgrade) with desserts including an indulgent Chocolate Pavlova.

WHOLE LATTE LOVE

Cosy up with six steamy Valentine’s Day barista specials at Clayton’s Bakery, including Strawberry White Chocolate Kiss Latte and Be Mine Mocha, with chocolate, raspberry and espresso.

But soft! What light from yonder window breaks? It is CHS Senior Conner Eckenroth channeling Romeo at the romantic Hotel Marisol.
