Generations of guests have enjoyed the amenities at Hotel del Coronado in San Diego, Calif. The luxury hotel was built in 1888 and its opulent Victorian interior attests to its age. The lobby is enrobed with rich, dark woods and has an enormous crystal chandelier and an old-fashioned wire-cage elevator. The Del, as it is affectionately called, has hosted a large number of Presidents, heads of state, and movie stars. Among the many movies that have included scenes from the Del is the classic "Some Like It Hot." The hotel still attracts upscale patrons, many of whom bring their children. The Del provides a full roster of entertainment and amusements for kids. Smaller kids from 3 to 12 will enjoy Kidtopia Camp and Crafts that offers fun activities in 1- or 3-hour packages. Teenagers will find Vibz, a game room complete with computers, karaoke, pool and movies. Surfing lessons are available. Activities planned for families include Dive-In movies shown in a pool area, and Family S'Mores Night on the beach.
