fine-tuned the program and added new services. Aware of the tremendous impact of  technology, we have added wireless and high-speed internet.  Conscious that guests are looking for an �experience,� not just a place to sleep, we�ve added charming touches like breakfast in picnic baskets and milk and cookies at bedtime. We�ve delved deeper into sharing our mansion�s rich history, and continue to make guests feel like they are staying with us in our home, not just another hotel,� said Kim Akers, general manager.

The 100-room Inn, designated a Coronado Historic Landmark in 1977, incorporates the former Edwardian mansion of sugar baron John D. Spreckels, who also built the Hotel del Coronado, located just across the street.

Spreckels' mansion, built in 1908, featured many innovations for its time, including electric lights and a tunnel connecting its water and electric systems to the generator at the Hotel del Coronado. The mansion also had a brass-cage elevator, marble staircase with padded handrail and skylights throughout. The home was built with reinforced steel and concrete, an earthquake precaution Spreckels insisted upon after living through the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.
