Pendry Newport Beach

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Pendry Newport Beach during Labor Day weekend. The entire experience blew our expectations out of the water. The location, the service, the staff, and the amenities were all phenomenal. We plan on returning soon!

Total party hotel and definitely not five star. (The word got out so the crowd has devolved.) The millennial staff all had attitude like THEY were the guests. Get ready to be woken up by the revving of the rent-a-Ferraris leaving Bar Pendry at 2:00am. Unauthorized valet parking was charged to my room, so was a $17 beer from the minibar. AND a cigarette butt was found on my balcony. (I’m now wondering if someone took advantage of my day trips.) Avoid unless you’re looking for a Vegas-style vacation without the casinos.

We had a wonderful stay at the Pendry Newport Beach. Beautiful property, stunning room, great service and staff. Special thanks to Blake S. at the valet for taking care of our Toyota Landcruiser.

Fabulous hotel from beginning to end. Loved the room, the service and the dining and bar. I would highly recommend this hotel.

My wife and I recently spent two nights at Pendry as an opportunity to get away from the kids. We had been to the area before but wanted to try something different. Based on a recommendation from a friend, we chose Pendry. Here are our observations: Atmosphere. The atmosphere felt very classy, upscale, and youthful. Staff. All staff members we encountered are great and helpful, especially at the reception desk. Location. Yes, it wasn’t located on the beach, however, being located across the street from Fashion Island was good enough. Room. The room was very spacious and cozy. The bed was very comfortable. Pool. The pool wasn’t very large, but even on a Saturday, there was still enough lounge chairs for everyone. There were a couple of toddlers, otherwise the age mix felt like upper 20’s to upper 40’s with some in there 50’s and 60’s. There’s a water station, towel station, and plenty of attendants. Tree Shack Pool Bar. The service was prompt and attentive. The food was really good. Set restaurant. We were there for lunch. Food was really good. Loved the ambiance of the patio..... very energetic. There was a DJ mixing some tunes but it wasn't too loud. Bar Pendry. Most hotel bar are a little quiet and stale. Not this one. To reuse the words earlier wrote, it felt very very classy, upscale, and youthful. By 8:30pm, it was standing room only. NEGATIVE: Noise. Due to fun atmosphere that was present in the lounge and patio, if your room faces the pool, one can hear the noise in your room. Personally, this wasn’t an issue for us, but I can see how it would be an issue for others.
