Reason
Hotel del Coronado of Coronado, California is a National Historic Landmark and the largest beach resort on the Pacfic coast of the United States. Notable guests include 15 United States presidents, and some accounts assert it was in the lobby that Edward VIII of the United Kingdom first met a local beauty, which started a heap of trouble. The Hotel del Coronado has also appeared in films, most memorably as the principal setting for Some Like it Hot starring Marilyn Monroe, which the American Film Institute ranked as the best American comedy of all time. This large and well-composed 1908 panorama shows the hotel as it appeared a century ago before expansions and new development altered the landscape. Restored version of Image:Coronado panorama.jpg.
