5 luxury properties in Newport Beach

The resort grounds are visually stunning, but the actual customer service at the spa leaves a lot to be desired. The front desk staff and spa attendants are cold, incredibly unwelcoming, and treat certain guests with visible bias and zero warmth. For a five star luxury property of this caliber, you expect a high standard of professional hospitality for everyone who walks through the door, not an uncomfortable, cliquey vibe from the staff. Save your money and go to a luxury spa that actually values all of its guests equally, without judging you based on your ethnicity.Rudy Ayala

Fantastic! We arrived a bit early for check-in on a stormy afternoon (seriously!). As we were waiting in the lobby we were greeted by Romie, the day manager. His graciousness welcome and genuine interest for our travel “story” were rare qualities these days! Romie continued to stay connected to us throughout our lovely stay! P.S. the special treats to celebrate 41 years of marriage were delightful. Thank you to the housekeeping staff for your immaculate attention to our room. 5 star experience! Excellent service with each interaction!Karen Beman

Location: location: location: A masterclass in refined hospitality with sO see & do in one area. Either business or personal this signature hotel would be a strong choice. From the moment you pull into the motor court, it is evident that this property operates on a level of effortless elegance. The aesthetic strikes that rare, enviable balance between tailored high-design and genuine warmth. It avoids the clinical minimalism often found in luxury stays, opting instead for a curated, residential feel that evokes the atmosphere of a private, well-collected estate.

Each earns you perks like daily breakfast, a property credit and room upgrades on top of your room rate.

Which card gives the best hotel benefit in Newport Beach?

It depends on the property. Amex Platinum (FHR) adds daily breakfast, a ~$100 credit and 4pm checkout with no minimum stay.
