Built in 1986 by The Irvine Company, the imposing Orange County resort has an interesting history, having once been a Four Seasons hotel before transforming into the Fashion Island Hotel.
Situated in the most sought-after area of the city, it is conveniently located across the street from the upscale shopping and diverse international cuisine at Fashion Island, and just a few blocks away from Roger’s Garden, Corona del Mar Beach, Lido Marina Village, and the Back Bay.
At Pendry Newport Beach, guests have access to two Cadillac Escalades and two Cadillac XT6. The concierge is ready to help with rental instructions for those interested in taking one of the cars for a spin.
Visitors can partake in the Ride & Drive Program, which allows guests four hours at the wheel to experience the luxury automaker’s newest cars while exploring the sights of Orange County.
This resort is owned by Eagle Four Partners, a Newport-based private equity firm that also includes the Balboa Bay Resort & Club, Newport Beach Country Club, and the newer Vea Newport Beach, a Marriott Resort & Spa, situated nearby. Pendry is part of Orange County’s Montage International, which also operates a Montage Resort in Laguna Beach.
Designer Alessandro Munge, founder and design director of Studio Munge in Toronto, was hired to create the captivating interior design at Pendry Newport Beach, embodying the brand’s sophisticated and understated ethos with a sanctuary-like ambiance.
The resort boasts 295 newly redesigned guest rooms, including 114 suites, many of which offer stunning views of the sky, palm trees, ocean, harbor, and Back Bay. Guests staying in rooms facing the front of the hotel can enjoy sunset views behind Catalina Island.
At the outdoor pool and sundeck, guests can enjoy towel set up, as well as a food and beverage menu throughout the day. Pool cabana rentals come with dedicated services, a television, and privacy, providing a tranquil setting to relax and soak up the Orange County sunshine!
The nearby world-class Spa Pendry offers an exclusive menu of luxurious treatments for the body, skin, and wellness. The restorative platinum facial experience leaves you with firmer, brighter, and luminous skin, while the Pendry Signature Massage is tailored to your preferences and needs.
Guests can indulge in globally inspired dining with a California twist available all day at Pendry Newport Beach. In the lobby, complimentary coffee is served along with a variety of freshly baked pastries available for purchase.
