2025 Annual Collector's Ornament

The Del's Wizard of Oz History
Our 33rd annual collector's ornament honors a cherished piece of Hotel del Coronado history. Between 1904 and 1917, author L. Frank Baum traveled frequently to The Del, where he wrote at least three books in the beloved Wizard of Oz series—Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz (1908), The Road to Oz (1909), and The Emerald City of Oz (1910). He also designed the iconic crown chandeliers in the famous Crown Room. In a 1905 poem about Coronado, Baum wrote: “And every day her loveliness, shines pure, without a flaw; new charms entrance our every glance, and fill our souls with awe!”

About the Ornament
This hand-blown glass ornament celebrates Baum's legacy and the joy his whimsical stories have brought to children and adults alike for 125 years. Featuring a "road of yellow brick," as Baum described it, and a depiction of a crown chandelier adorning The Del's signature turret, this keepsake honors his enduring contribution to our history. Comes in a beautiful padded gift box.

Wizard of Oz books not included.
