Island Hotel Newport Beach is located adjacent to the upscale and pedestrian friendly Fashion Island (claiming the area's only Neiman Marcus). The elegant lobby décor pleases down to the smallest detail, and a team of friendly and efficient experts caters to your every whim. All 295 rooms are spacious, tastefully furnished and outfitted with step-out balconies and the latest technology. Special care has been taken with the bath facilities, equipped with almost every amenity imaginable. The gardenlike grounds are punctuated with artworks in the form of amusingly lifelike sculptures. The fitness center is well equipped and luxurious. Opt for a seasonal eatery — The Palapa Bar or The Palm Terrace Lounge for cocktails, small bites and live entertainment. The Palm Terrace Restaurant features signature American-style cuisine that changes with the season. At the water-themed, full-service spa, guests can enjoy facials and massages against a backdrop of fountains, a water wall and iridescent glass. The views, which gaze out over Catalina, Lido and Balboa islands, are superb. |
