Zarezervuj si to, pokud You want a polished, scene-y resort vibe with a private club feel, but prefer being steps from luxury shopping rather than getting sand in your sheets.
Proč to lidé milují
The 'Elwood Club' social scene gives it an exclusive, members-only energy
Interiors are a stunning 'coastal California moodboard'—think velvet, brass, and palms
Walking distance to Fashion Island means world-class shopping is your pantry
Rychlý přehled: It’s a glamorous city hotel masquerading as a beach resort—you're looking at a parking lot or a mall, not the waves, unless you squint from the top floor.
Recenzoval @platinumtrvl: I checked into the Pendry for a girls' weekend and was blown away. The room felt huge, the beds were like clouds, and having a full-sized tequila bottle in the minibar set the tone immediately. It’s the perfect spot if you want that polished Newport luxury vibe.

The hype
Guests obsess over the decor and the 'smell' (MiN New York products), but often feel nickel-and-dimed by the high valet and resort fees.
Reality check
Service can be 'slow' and 'aloof,' with multiple reports of forgotten requests and a pool area that sometimes feels 'grubby' with leaves and uncleared tables.
You care more about a vibey pool scene and cocktails than swimming in the ocean
You're planning a shopping spree at Fashion Island
You want a hotel that feels like a private social club
Čistota & Údržba
8.8
Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some reports of missed dust or slow turnover times.
Bathroom hygiene: Mostly sparkling marble, but watch out for slow-draining showers and the occasional report of grout issues.
Maintenance: Freshly renovated feel, but 'clogged drains' are a recurring specific complaint.
Linens & towels: High thread count, crisp, and plush. No major complaints here.
Odors & scents: Lobby smells expensive (signature scent); rooms are fresh, though some hallways can trap food smells from room service.

“I am a light sleeper and would love a room on a high floor (Skyline or Coastal view) away from the elevator and pool noise. A corner unit would be ideal if available.”

Insider tipy
✨
Ask the concierge about the 'honorary membership' to the Elwood Club—it gets you into the private Viamara restaurant and pub.
✨
The 'Garden View' rooms are often just 'Parking Lot View' rooms; upgrade to Skyline if you care about what's outside the window.
✨
Walk across the street to the Newport Beach Civic Center Park to see the hidden sculpture garden—it's free and uncrowded.
5 věcí, které byste měli vědět, než se vydáte
💡The 'ocean view' is distant—you are looking over office buildings and a mall to see it.
💡The shower drains are a frequent complaint (slow to drain/clogging).
💡You can hear the 'thud' of heavy room doors slamming from down the hall.
💡The pool service can be surprisingly slow, with guests sometimes waiting ages for a drink menu.
