New, Now, Next: Del Mar
What's New It's hard to
believe that you will find exactly one hotel
along the entire Del Mar coastline that's
on the sand, but that's the exclusive claim
to fame of Del Mar Beach Hotel on Coast
Boulevard. The longtime beachfront fixture
underwent a multimillion-dollar redesign
that debuted last month, refreshing its 46
guestrooms, suites, and two residences,
with amenities, programs, and activities
scheduled to roll out throughout the year
to enhance its dreamy vacay vibe. This is
definitely a destination that shouldn't just
be enjoyed by out-of-towners — we locals
are just as deserving of a sandy slice of
laid-back heaven. delmarhotel.com
Ok, so maybe it actually opened last
summer, but for many of us still finding
our way back out into the world, we're
celebrating the newest Chin's Szechwan
that took over the spot formerly home to
Double Happiness on Camino Del Mar.
The sixth location in the restaurant group's
portfolio serves up the crave-worthy
Chinese food San Diegans have come to
know and love since 1984. govisitchins.com
Even if it never changed, this seaside village is pretty perfect. Still, we
can't help but get excited when change means welcome additions that
make Del Mar — and its visitors — shine even brighter. BY DEANNA MURPHY
