Overview

Once you pass the free-range flamingos, this posh resort turns from tropical to something decidedly French. The lobby and public areas abound with French Impressionistic paintings, as do the tastefully decorated spacious rooms and suites. The staff is always attentive. Formerly known as Le Meridien, the Marriott chain bought this resort on the charming island of Coronado across the San Diego Bay from downtown and has maintained its beauty and tranquility.
