Hotel del Coronado

 * 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.

 * Support. Chock full of aesthetic and encyclopedic value.--ragesoss (talk) 06:19, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose The hotel on a hill part is beautiful, but it's smudgy on the edges (due to fog from the sea?) and not very interesting, especially compared to some of the panoramas on this page. The smokestack, the railcars, and the tracks in the mud/sand in the bottom left hand corner detract from the picture too. It also doesn't bring much encyclopedic value to the seaside resort page. sorry Intothewoods29 (talk) 22:45, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I absolutely concur with Intothewoods29. Nautica Shad es  02:56, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
