The first hydraulic elevator in the world, the first flat escalator, the scene of countless movies and odd rooms where you have to sleep without beds are just some of the features that contain a sample of the hotels in San Diego.

The world's first hydraulic elevator corresponds to the Cortez Apartment Hotel http://www.elc.cc/, which stood as the tallest building in San Diego when it opened in 1927. During the 1950's was the most glamorous apartment hotel in the city. The sign “The Cortez” is illuminated at night and it could be seen from miles. The so-called 'Starlight Express'   (first exterior hydraulic elevator) attracted thousands of visitors to the hotel's dining facilities overlooking the city. The moving walkway bridge named 'Travolator' which was opened in 1959 and was designed by architect Clarence J. Paderewski was later used in airports such as London, Atlanta and Los Angeles.

For its part, the former stage of, at least, twelve films among which were: 'Some Like It Hot'(starring Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in what was called the "Seminole Ritz") 'the Specialist' (starring Peter O'Toole), "Wicked Wicked" (which was filmed entirely on location there), and the 1990 version of "My Blue Heaven '(starring Steve Martin and Rick Moranis), stands under the name Hotel del Coronado http://www.hoteldel.com/. It is a luxury beachfront hotel in the city of Coronado, across San Diego’s bay, California. It is one of the few remaining examples of an American architectural genre: a wooden Victorian beach resort. It is one of the oldest and largest wooden buildings in California and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1977. When it opened in 1888, was the largest resort hotel in the world and the first to use electricity. The hotel was rated four diamonds by the American Automobile Association, and was included by the U.S. in the "10 best resorts in the world."

Finally, and as a response to the crisis, a luxury hotel in San Diego, Rancho Bernardo Inn Hotel http://www.ranchobernardoinn.com/ has chosen to offer its guests without beds. This is an offer made by the hotel where guests will sleep in tents installed in the rooms. In addition they will not have electricity, towels or toilet paper. With this original initiative to offer its customers wanted something different than usual, something funny and clever.
