Once you’re inside, though, it’s hard not to feel transported to somewhere rather more far-flung, thanks to the Pendry’s talent for cultivating a resort-like atmosphere.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Located directly across from Fashion Island, the hotel sits a quick bike ride from Balboa Island and Corona del Mar.
The rooms
Private balconies look toward Newport Harbor and Back Bay, while interiors showcase soft sage tones and generous marble bathrooms.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Private serviced cabanas and sun loungers surround the outdoor swimming pool on a patterned terrace.
The spa
Treatment rooms host tailored massages and cryotherapy sessions. Guests can also unwind in eucalyptus steam rooms.
The fitness center
Technogym equipment and Peloton bikes fill the gym, which opens onto an outdoor turf training terrace.
Dogs stay too.
Bar Pendry
Guests gather around the circular bar for classic cocktails and small plates in deep olive-green lounge chairs.
At the table
SET Steak & Sushi serves prime cuts and sushi on a garden patio. Morning breakfast is served in The Pavilion.
How it began

Built in 1986 as a Four Seasons, the Newport Center tower underwent a comprehensive transformation before reopening as a Pendry in 2023.
