A man in shorts, crew shirt and ballcap stands on a dock watching the activity that surrounds him at the Balboa Bay Club beach. Children play at the water's edge as moms watch from lawn chairs and beach chairs, making sure their charges remain safe. And Next them are kayaks and yachts. Simply charming is the life that exists in the THE OC's favorite harbor, Newport Harbor, where Balboa Bay Club hotel resort enjoys lovely views to melt your cares away. This beach and club is open to the public for overnight stays. Dining and entertainment is included on the property, and Fashion Island shopping mall is located just up the road a mile or two on the hill overlooking the Newport bay and Pacific Ocean.

 

The hotel, itself, underwent a renovation several years back. Though it was a timepiece of another era until its re-do, the commanding bay views and folks seeking upscale experiences wished for something more than dated decor and meeting facilities that missed the mark when compared to nearby digs. As you drive up to a valet service now, you absorb a look and feel that are markedly different from the earlier versions of this hotel and club. It's very nice, very enjoyable, and offers a finer experience, thanks to stucco, marble, carpet, linens, beds and all the things needed to refresh a dated concept and transform it into Wow!

 

Balboa Bay Club is a resort hotel in Newport Beach where guests such as John Wayne, Ronald and Nancy Reagan, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Natalie Wood, and many more celebrities and diplomats have stayed. The only full-service waterfront hotel in Newport Beach designed in the style of an Italian villa features 160 rooms built on three levels. Travelers, honeymooners, business executives and girlfriends on a getaway can enjoy the on-site dining, nearby shopping at Fashion Island, beaches of Newport Beach and day trips to Catalina Island.

 

A short 10 minute drive to John Wayne/Orange County Airport, named for the Western film actor who lived in Newport Beach, Newport Beach is bounded by Laguna Beach, Costa Mesa and Huntington Beach. Its communities include Corona del Mar and Balboa Island. 

 

When visiting Newport Beach, be sure to stop and have a cocktail or dine at the Balboa Bay Club. Like the Hotel del Coronado, it exudes a history that you can't describe, but feels very real.

 

Balboa Bay Club is seen in the map above in the upper left quadrant.  It faces Lido Isle, one of Newport Beach's manmade islands.
