The Balboa Bay Club & Resort

The Balboa Bay Club opened in 1948 in Newport Beach, California, and was quickly dubbed “The Host of the Coast”—welcoming such celebrities as Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, and John Wayne. In 2003, the private club added a luxury resort to its 15.5 bayfront acres. Newly minted as The Balboa Bay Club & Resort, today’s property welcomes corporate and association gatherings with flexible meeting space and courteous staff to meet any request, large or small.

The resort’s intimate setting comes with all the capabilities of a large-scale conference hotel. The 17,000-square-feet of meeting space includes 11 breakout rooms—all with natural light and outdoor patios. Group options range from executive seating in the Governor’s Boardroom to the Bayfront Lawn, the beachfront, and numerous other outdoor settings. Larger functions often begin in the 1,100-square-foot, light-filled prefunction area opening to the Grand Ballroom, a 7,000-square-foot ballroom under 18-foot ceilings.

The 160 guest rooms reflect a casually elegant California setting, with rich earth tones and crisp white down-filled duvets, oversized bathrooms with sunken tubs, and plantation shutters that open to furnished, view-filled balconies. The Presidential Suite tops the list of ten suites with its marina views, fireplace, grand piano, and private butler service. Delegates have little reason to roam, given the resort’s wealth of on-site amenities, including a marina, the award-winning First Cabin Restaurant, nightly dancing and entertainment at Duke’s Place, a 17,000-square-foot spa, workout facility, year-round heated pool and water sports that include private yacht charters and electric boats.
