Glorietta Bay Inn is a mid-range hotel at 1630 Glorietta Boulevard on Coronado Island, San Diego County, California, built around a historic mansion. The inn overlooks Glorietta Bay, a short walk from the Hotel del Coronado and the beach, and close to Orange Avenue's cafes, shops and restaurants. Downtown San Diego lies across the bay and can be reached by the Coronado ferry, a water taxi or the Coronado Bridge, and the island's flat streets make walking and cycling easy.

The centrepiece is a historic mansion, built in the early twentieth century for sugar heir John D. Spreckels, with later rooms added in surrounding buildings. The combination gives the inn a character that blends old-fashioned grace with the comfort of a small-scale island hotel, and the surrounding gardens and bay views contribute to a quiet, residential atmosphere.

Room types include king rooms, queen rooms and suites, with listed rates from about $200 to $450 per night, depending on season and room type. Amenities listed for the property include the historic mansion, a pool and bay views. Rooms in the mansion itself tend to be the most atmospheric, while those in the newer buildings offer more modern layouts.

The inn is not a large resort with multiple restaurants, so dining usually means stepping out. Orange Avenue, a few minutes away, offers breakfast cafes, bakeries, casual restaurants and fine dining, and the Hotel del Coronado's restaurants are a short stroll. The pool offers a place to relax on warm afternoons, and the bay-facing grounds are popular for quiet walks.

Service character is intimate, personal and well suited to couples and travellers who prefer a smaller, historic-flavoured property over a large resort. Guests should confirm current rates, parking charges and the layout of specific rooms directly with the property, especially if they want to stay in the mansion itself.
