VEA Newport Beach, A Marriott Resort & Spa  

In Newport Beach’s stylish Newport Center, steps from Fashion Island and a short drive to Laguna Beach and Balboa Pier. Crystal Cove State Park and the coastline are close by, with John Wayne Airport the nearest gateway.

A chic resort and spa with a Pacific-tinged vibe, palms and a lush poolscape. About 400 guestrooms and suites feature Smart TVs, pillowtop beds with down comforters, premium bedding, designer toiletries, bathrobes and slippers. Expect spacious suites, a dedicated spa enclave and smart, modern touches throughout.

Soak in a heated outdoor pool and whirlpool, unwind in the sauna and steam room, or book treatments in the full-service spa. There’s a fitness center, concierge, gift shop, parking and lively poolside bar — perfect for waking up to sea-breeze mornings or lounging into sunset.

A full business center and computer station support meetings, plus express check-in/check-out. Nearly 72,981 sq ft of event space with 27 meeting rooms makes this a strong venue for conferences and special events.

Ocean-view dining at VIEW Restaurant & Lounge serves American fare, while Edge Bar and Elan Café & Bar keep drinks and small bites flowing. A poolside bar, limited room service and a daily continental breakfast (for a fee) round out on-site options.
