Pendry Newport Beach

The hotel is housed in a 20-story tower and embodies Southern California lifestyle blended with an Art Deco flair. All rooms and suites have floor-to-ceiling windows as well as a balcony. The design is crisp and urban inspired, with a black, gray, and olive green color scheme. Bathrooms have marble countertops and walk-in showers.

Settle at an outdoor table at SET Steak & Sushi, which bills itself as a modern steakhouse that also serves sushi. When hunger strikes by the pool, Tree Shack Pool Bar & Grill serves Baja-inspired snacks and drinks. The sultry Bar Pendry is the place to go for a nightcap.

Ease into your day with a morning yoga class or head to the 24-hour fitness center, which features Technogym equipment as well as Peloton bikes. Book a massage or cryotherapy session at Pendry Spa.

Shop at Fashion Island or catch a performance at the nearby Segerstrom Center for the Arts. Cycle along the scenic Back Bay Loop Trail which winds through Upper Newport Bay or take the ferry to explore Balboa Island. Spend the day relaxing at Crystal Cove beach, or head offshore to scuba or snorkel.
