Nobu at Hotel del Coronado soon will become the latest addition on the menu of the iconic resort’s culinary experiences.
The opening of Nobu at Hotel del Coronado, set for 2025, is part of the last phase of Blackstone’s restoration and revitalization of the Del, which has cost more than $550 million.
The Nobu Japanese restaurant empire, founded by Chef Nobu Matsuhisa and actor Robert De Niro, includes 20 U.S. locations, San Diego among them. Expansion is ongoing, with sites planned not just for Coronado, but also Toronto and Rome.
Matsuhisa called the Hotel del Coronado “one of California’s most signature beach hotels, making it the perfect place for Nobu.”
“We look forward to bringing guests the Nobu signatures they have come to love, along with some exceptional items and experiences that will only be available at Nobu Hotel del Coronado,” he said.
Nobu at Hotel del Coronado will offer over 3,700 square feet of indoor and al fresco oceanfront dining space, including outdoor covered patio dining with a pagoda bar and dedicated sushi bar.
The restaurant also will spotlight Nobu-signature dishes including Black Miso Cod and Yellowtail Jalapeño, as well as locally inspired dishes and cocktails.
Hotel del Coronado Managing Director Sanjiv Hulugalle said Nobu has “created a genre-defining experience and destination for impeccable food and service.”
“Much like what Hotel del Coronado has done to redefine contemporary hospitality, Nobu has done with dining — making this a perfect marriage of quality and timeless tradition,” he added.
Brian Kaufman, Managing Director at Blackstone, said the arrival of Nobu “will mark another milestone in our $550 million investment plan to restore and revitalize this iconic property.”
“From day one, it has been our goal to ensure the Hotel Del is able to provide guests and community members a one-of-a-kind experience, and we are thrilled to add a world-class dining partner like Nobu,” he said.
