Hotel Zessa, a DoubleTree by Hilton (formerly DoubleTree by Hilton Santa Ana – Orange County Airport), has announced its new name following an extensive renovation. Located in Santa Ana, Calif., the hotel combines a classic upscale atmosphere with a trendy indie boutique style, with the aim to capture the essence of Southern California’s allure. The transformation includes upgraded public spaces, a renovated fitness center with a new yoga studio, and refreshed guest rooms.
With more than 12,000 square feet of meeting space, Hotel Zessa is equipped to host both intimate and large-scale events. The hotel’s restaurant, Citra Bar & Kitchen, offers a new south of the border menu inspired by local Santa Ana cuisine.

Owned by Imperial Hotel Group, LLC and operated by Pacific Hospitality Group, Hotel Zessa is located five minutes from the Orange County John Wayne Airport (SNA) and offers a complimentary shuttle service to the airport and attractions within a three-mile radius. Aaron Saliba, general manager of Hotel Zessa, expressed excitement about the transformation, highlighting the hotel’s commitment to providing a unique and memorable stay for guests. “After years in the making, we’re thrilled to unveil Hotel Zessa, a place where business and fun seamlessly coexist. Our guests can expect a superb and unique stay, surrounded by the energy that defines Orange County,” he says.
