BEST
Opening in March 2025, The Bower Coronado introduces a new vision for luxury hospitality to Coronado Island, thoughtfully reimagining the grounds of a historic Japanese tea garden into San Diego’s newest boutique retreat. The intimate 39-room haven embraces the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi through its architectural narrative, featuring natural materials and serene aesthetics. Anchored by Dive, Coronado’s first rooftop bar and restaurant with panoramic views, The Bower pairs residential-style hospitality with elevated touches—from Le Labo bath products to hand-crafted design details. The hotel offers versatile spaces for intimate gatherings, local experiences ranging from sailing excursions to private gallery visits, and a privileged location minutes from downtown San Diego and steps from one of California’s most iconic beaches, creating a destination for those seeking refined luxury and unforgettable moments.
