After a five-year hiatus from producing documentaries, Elsa and Guillermo Sevilla have returned to create a captivating three-part series on the Hotel del Coronado’s monumental seven-year, $550 million restoration—the first of its kind in the hotel’s more than 136-year history. Historic Places with Elsa Sevilla (also known as San Diego's Historic Places), their Emmy-nominated series, has been a cornerstone of KPBS since 2008. Garnering multiple awards and accolades, the series is renowned for its exploration of Southern California’s rich and diverse history. Elsa and Guillermo, seasoned journalists and award-winning filmmakers, are deeply committed to uncovering stories of historical sites and figures, especially highlighting the contributions of people of color who have often been marginalized in traditional narratives.
