Steps from Fashion Island, Pendry Newport Beach turns a landmark resort tower into a stylish Orange County retreat with garden-inspired interiors, a lively pool scene and serious dining.
Pendry Newport Beach rises beside Fashion Island, giving guests immediate access to one of Orange County’s best shopping and dining districts while remaining only a short drive from Corona del Mar and the coast. The hotel reworked the former Fashion Island Hotel into a more design-forward resort.
Studio Munge created interiors that pull from Southern California gardens rather than relying on obvious beach motifs. The 295 guestrooms and suites use greenery, soft natural tones, floor-to-ceiling windows and generous proportions to make the tower feel brighter and more relaxed.
The pool is a social focal point, framed by landscaping and Tree Shack Pool Bar & Grill. Spa Pendry adds a polished wellness program, while the hotel’s proximity to Fashion Island gives guests more off-property options than most destination resorts.
SET Steak & Sushi is the principal dinner venue, blending a steakhouse format with seafood and sushi, while Bar Pendry handles cocktails in a more intimate setting. The Elwood Club adds a private members-club layer with its own dining and entertainment spaces.
Pendry Newport Beach suits travelers who want the amenities and energy of a modern resort without being isolated on the sand. It feels distinctly Orange County: polished, social, design-conscious and closely connected to shopping, dining and coastal neighborhoods.
