We go over to San Diego every summer for 4 or 5 days. We've tried the Le Meridien, the Del Coronado and the Loews Coronado Bay Resort. Our favorite is the Loews. It's newer, with much larger rooms, with just terrific service! You can't go wrong with the Hotel Del, but the Meridien was just average. Be sure to go to Clayton's Diner on Coronado Island. It is an authentic old diner, and breakfast is wonderful. Also recommend the Old Town Mexican Cafe. Hand made tortillas!

It depends on what you define as best. There are many first class hotels in the San Diego area with far better rooms than the Hotel Del Coronado. However the Hotel Del is special. It is a landmark and quite unique. It definitely has the best beach right out the door.
If you do stay in Coronado, make sure that you eat at Miguel's Cocina. It is located in a courtyard across the street from the Hotel Del Coronado. You can't see it from the street but it is located next to the Brigantine restaurant ( same owner ). Miguel's Cocina has excellent Mexican food with a great ambience at a very reasonable price.

I agree with previous posters...the del Coronado is no longer the "grande dame" of San Diego but she is special. I've stayed there and enjoyed it, but now choose either the Loews or US Grant, depending on whether I want the beach or city atmosphere.

Just came back from visiting San Diego and saw the Del. I would not recommend it if the visit is soon as its under construction. Lots of area torn up and detours walking around it. It was still nice inside but would hate to stay near the construction area.
