Guests can also visit Balboa Island, Fashion Island, and Davey’s Locker, all just a short distance from the hotel. Disneyland Park and Knott’s Berry Farm are within 20 miles of the Lido House. “He designed it to look just like his house,” a staff member confides about the owner. That’s the kind of obsessive attention to a vision that I like in a hotel designer, but I wanted to know whether it was true. You’d squeeze past the half-dressed teens manning the door, and into the dark interior, and you’d be hit by a smell. It was overpowering, sweet, salty, and reminiscent of a teenage bedroom.

As the most discerning, up-to-the-minute voice in all things travel, Condé Nast Traveler is the global citizen’s bible and muse, offering both inspiration and vital intel. We understand that time is the greatest luxury, which is why Condé Nast Traveler mines its network of experts and influencers so that you never waste a meal, a drink, or a hotel stay wherever you are in the world. I find it strange that although Autograph Collection is my favorite Marriott Bonvoy brand, I think back on this Autograph Collection stay as being just “lukewarm”. With that said, I would recommend this hotel for staycationers, couples, families, and even bachelorette parties, and I’ll probably give it another go one day myself. With some minor tweaks, Lido House could have easily garnered top marks, but still – an 8 out of 10 ain’t bad. A see-and-be-seen vacation lair unlike any other Newport Beach hotel offering.

Welcome to Lido House, Autograph Collection

The hotel’s location near Lido Marina Village and Balboa Peninsula makes it perfectly positioned for discovering Newport Beach’s vibrant atmosphere, bustling marina, and white-sand beaches. There are plenty of things to do nearby the resort, including shopping, dining, biking, swimming and surfing. The hotel is located near Lido Marina Village, which offers a variety of shops and restaurants and is just a short walk from the beach. The hotel’s outdoor pool was hemmed in by the hotel, but was still a great place to relax and soak up the sun. Each Autograph Collection hotel offers a distinct guest experience, rooted in that hotel's unique personality. Autograph Collection believes it's these thoughtfully orchestrated moments that leave a lasting imprint or Mark on guests.

But - there is some significance to where this place is located; it’s on the spot where the old city hall used to be. It’s influenced the concept of the hotel - Olson wants it to become the hub of the local area, much like the site was back in its political days (the restaurant is called The Mayor’s Table). It’s a nice idea, and provided it doesn’t become too ‘clubby’ could give it a unique feel, as a chain hotel where you can get a unique mood of the surrounding area. Every bite and every sip are viewed as opportunities at Lido House in Newport Beach. Wine and dine with other Lido Island hotel guests and the community at the bar at Mayor’s Table Pacific Pub+ Kitchen restaurant, Topside Roof Deck or Crew Coffee + Cremiere.

In my case, late checkout wasn’t available and there was no room upgrade even though the hotel was practically empty. Aside from that, Marriott Bonvoy’s program benefits for Platinum elites are supposed to include complimentary room upgrades, late checkout, and access to the hotel’s exclusive lounge. One of the quirks of the Marriott Bonvoy program is that it has too many quirks, especially when it comes to the breakfast benefits. While Bonvoy benefits often differ by brand, they can also differ by version of the brand, as is the case at Lido House, an Autograph Collection brand. A timeless celebration of al fresco living and the art of hosting, this fluid floorplan boasts several indoor/outdoor spaces geared toward convivial gatherings—be it cocktail parties or cozy family gatherings. Taking cues from its nautical origins, the spacious Newport Beach hotel retreat is adorned in hues of blue but warmly accented with wooden tones.

It's elevated in its style as well as location; there's a champagne-heavy bar menu with food pairings, and a dress code which prohibits tank tops, bold logos, and flip flops to maintain its “beach soiree” vibe. A glamorous local once told me that the people of Newport Beach, California, drink more champagne per head than anywhere else in America. I’ve hunted for evidence everywhere, but can’t find anything to back up that specific claim. But, as I explored the area, it felt like the kind of place where you could readily believe such a fact. The locals here live the good life; they park their boats in front of their front doors, they’re down for a little nip and tuck to keep themselves looking youthful, and they always, always seem to be clutching a glass of fizz.

Stay connected to receive updates on upcoming events and special offers. Bonvoy provides free breakfast – for two – at Autograph Collection resorts. Lido House is an Autograph Collection brand, however, it is NOT an Autograph Collection resort, therefore in Marriott’s infinite wisdom, they do not need provide complimentary breakfast as an amenity for two. Rather, Lido House only provides a breakfast credit, in this case a $30 per room (not per person) as a benefit.
