Elite Overview
From the editors of Elite Meetings
Island Hotel Newport Beach takes the high road to mixing business with pleasure in Newport Beach, California. Just steps from Fashion Island, one of Southern California’s premier shopping destinations, the hotel epitomizes the privileged lifestyle of local sophisticates who work and play along the coast.
Visiting planners find endless reasons to hold events outdoors in the 300 days of sunshine a year. But they also work with over 19,000 square feet of meeting space inside, from a magnificent ballroom to residential suites with built-in audiovisuals and boardroom tables. Dedicated planning, tech, and catering staffs guarantee seamless logistics and creative solutions for every agenda.
All 295 guest rooms and suites open to step-out balconies or furnished patios, and many view the islands of Lido, Balboa, or Catalina across the water. A casually elegant decor in California earth tones, marble bathrooms, premium bedding, spacious desks, and 24-hour in-room dining complete the feeling of opulence in private. For dining in public, guests meet at the Palm Terrace Restaurant & Lounge, where Executive Chef Bill Bracken gives a whole new meaning to “comfort food.”
The Island Hotel’s first-class luxury and location—combined with an exceptional spa and on-site fitness center—make it a natural for elite business meetings and incentive rewards. Even the pool—with its lush tropical landscaping, outdoor fireplace, cabanas, data ports, and phone jacks—appeals to the tastes of top executives.
