MeetingsNB.com; @MeetingsNB—Set along a stunning stretch of Southern California’s shoreline, Newport Beach offers elevated amenities in an unmistakably laid-back atmosphere. “Our serene stretch of the Southern California coastline is unique,” says Michelle Donahue, senior vice president of sales for Visit Newport Beach. “Newport Beach is actually comprised of more water than land. Experiences like a group kayak adventure along the Back Bay or a sunset cruise through the largest recreational harbor on the West Coast are something you won’t find anywhere else.”
At the 130-room Lido House Hotel, meetings take on a distinctly Newport Beach feel, combining coastal charm with modern sophistication. The property’s newest additions expand its appeal for planners seeking boutique-style venues with character. The Glass House, a 540-square-foot greenhouse-inspired space, features floor-to-ceiling windows and a fresh, coastal-modern aesthetic ideal for executive gatherings, receptions, or intimate dinners. Just steps away, the Boardwalk Foyer adds 433 square feet of flexible space adjacent to the Boathouse Ballroom—ideal for strategy sessions, breakouts, or smaller corporate meetings.
Other significant hotel properties in Newport Beach include the 150-room Balboa Bay Resort, the city’s only Forbes Four-Star, AAA Four Diamond waterfront resort; 403-room Hyatt Regency Newport Beach, which boasts 27,000 square feet of meeting space; 295-room Pendry Newport Beach, which boasts 58,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space; and 444-room Renaissance Newport Beach Hotel, which features 31,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space.
