Hotel del Coronado is an iconic destination at the Pacific’s edge just minutes from downtown San Diego. Its Coronado Island setting captures the relaxed beauty and seaside charms of the quintessential Southern California coastal lifestyle. Housed in a grand 1888 Victorian property with 757 rooms, the activities offered are truly one-of-a-kind – from Mermaid Fitness and Beach Spin to Painting by the Sea.
THE CHALLENGE
Hotel del Coronado searched for a combined and customized CRM / digital marketing solution that could deliver measurable results, said Sara Harper, Director of Marketing for Hotel del Coronado.
THE SOLUTION
The Del team looked at other solutions, but chose Cendyn’s proprietary CRM platform and digital marketing services because it gave Hotel del Coronado “the ability to reach our audience through all the channels in one consolidated system,” Harper said. “Cendyn offered a more efficient digital marketing system.”
