Established 1924
The Coral House is a cherished landmark in Hollywood Beach, boasting a rich history as one of the oldest buildings and the longest standing hotel. Originally built in 1924 from oolite limestone, commonly known as coral rock, the structure began its life as a single-family beach home. In the mid-1920s, a second story was added, and the building transformed into the Gulfstream Hospital, a small local children’s hospital operated by Dr. Harrison Walker.
By the early 1930s, the property was converted into a hotel, known as The Gulfstream Hotel, and has operated as a hotel ever since under various owners. During the 1960s, the building’s coral rock exterior was covered with stucco, giving it the appearance it has today, but the name Coral House endured. If you look closely, you can still spot the original coral rock in some window frames and under stairwells—a nod to the building's storied past. The current owners acquired the property in October 2005 and have been dedicated to improving and preserving its unique character ever since.
