Brunch, but make it super fancy — with a side of history.

Hotel del Coronado is hosting a pop-up brunch event this Sunday, Feb. 26, at its historic Crown Room. Pre-pandemic, the classic Sunday brunch buffet was a staple at the space, but this is the first time it’s been offered since March 2020 — other than special holiday brunch events.

Seatings are from 9:30 a.m.-1 p.m., and reservations are required. The menu includes brunch, seafood, ramen, poke, and carving stations, plus seasonal sides, salads, and decadent desserts for days. Tickets cost $165 for adults and $75 for kids ages 4-10 (plus gratuity and tax). 🍰

By the way, if the walls inside the Crown Room could talk — well, they’d own the brunch conversation. So much history has happened in this room, so let's dish.

🍽️ Did you know?

In 1920, a banquet was held inside the Crown Room for Edward, Prince of Wales.
In 1927, Charles Lindbergh was honored at the venue for successfully completing the first solo, transatlantic flight.
On Sept. 3, 1970, President Richard Nixon hosted the first state dinner outside of the White House in the Crown Room, attended by Frank Sinatra and John Wayne, to name a few famous faces.

One more fun fact: the Crown Room’s dazzling, crown-shaped chandeliers were designed by L. Frank Baum, author of the “Wizard of Oz” series, who frequented Coronado Island between 1904-1910. 🪄
