Loews Coronado Bay

A sun-kissed blend of bayside luxury and comfortable sophistication sets Loews Coronado Bay in a category all its own. The quintessential Southern California retreat rests on Crown Isle, a private 15-acre peninsula in San Diego’s seaside community of Coronado. Guests relax by three pools, indulge at the spa, volley on three tennis courts, and play on neighboring Silver Strand State Beach. Meanwhile, the resort’s marina launches gondolas with singing gondoliers, kayaks, sailboats, and yachts for offshore festivities.

Groups convene at 40,000 square feet of outdoor event space, including the Marina, Sunset, and Bay Terraces. Nearly 25,000 square feet of indoor conference space includes a boardroom, multiple breakout rooms, and a ballroom holding receptions for up to 1,600 guests. Group activities include organic cooking classes, surfing lessons, and nature tours. Signature programs, such as the Loews Meeting Experience, Wines by the Glass, and Color Breaks extend innovative
offerings to savvy planners.

The 439 rooms and suites feature furnished balconies or terraces overlooking the Coronado Bay Bridge, marina, or trio of swimming pools. At the spa, group members can indulge in such popular treatments as the seaweed body wrap, hot stone massage, and Vichy rain shower. Four restaurants and lounges allow guests to wake up to a dockside breakfast at Market Café, enjoy cocktails and sunset views at Cays Lounge, and take in the sweeping bayfront scenery over dinner at Mistral.

March 17, 2008 (New York, NY) " Loews Hotels goes beyond the generic red or white at banquets with the introduction of a new wines-by-the-glass program that allows banquet and meetings guests to enjoy their choice of varietal. The first hotel to chain offer a wine-by-the-glass program in banquets, Loews Hotels now features a broad wine selection at three different price points.
The program enhances the traditional banquet experience by introducing a restaurant style of service and a wine list to match, said Ellen Burke Van Slyke, Corporate Creative Director of F&B, Loews Hotels.
Along with the traditional Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, the new banquet bar wine list offers a selection of Sparkling wines, a White Zinfandel, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz, Merlot and Syrah.
In creating the wine list, Loews turned to winemaking families who have been producing wines for over 100 years to ensure the highest quality. The list also showcases vineyards that engage in sustainable farming. The process began with a list of 400 wines, based on reputation, availability and price point. It was then narrowed to 65. Loews conducted a blind tasting with a panel of 12 experts, including three food & beverage directors, two executive chefs, a certified sommelier, a Master French chef and five other decision-makers. The resulting winners, including several organic and locally sourced wines, were selected to best represent the sophisticated palates of the wide spectrum of our banquet guests, said Van Slyke.
Arranged at three different banquet tiers, with one price per glass of all six wines on each tier, the selection of 16 wines includes:
Select Tier
Kenwood Yulupa Brut
Caposaldo Pinot Grigio
Tunnel of Elms Chardonnary
Forestville Shiraz
Hayes Ranch Cabernet
Sutter Home White Zinfandel

Premium Tier
Chandon Brut Classic
Bancott Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc
A by Acacia Chardonnary
Sandstone Merlot
14 Hands Cabernet
Sutter Home White Zinfandel

Luxury Tier
Taittinger Cuvee Prestige Blanc
Tangent Sauvignon Blanc
Paraiso Chardonnay
Brindlewood Syrah
Trinchero Family Cabernet
Sutter Home White Zinfandel


The move reflects an appreciation of our guests more sophisticated preferences, as well as our desire to continually meet and, indeed, exceed their expectations, she continued.
