Top Lantern District Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Newport Beach West

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice, tastefully renovated hotel. Was staying there during an event, the catering was fantastic."

14 West Hotel

8/10 Good

"The older style of this boutique hotel and rooms around the courtyard were charming and cute. The grounds are lovely and the location is perfect!! The rooms themselves need new carpeting badly and a few touch ups to paint and wallpaper. The beds were comfy, but our TV didn’t work the first night. They did fix quickly once informed. This is our 2nd stay here and we’re probably lifers when we come to Laguna, but room upgrades on the older part of the hotel would be great!! Always a great value though!!"

Renaissance Newport Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice property with great staff. Got upgraded to a higher room with pool view. Self park was easy and saved a few bucks from the valet price. Easy 10 min drive to Balboa Island. My kid was in the bathroom forever so I had to pee in some of the glasses provided. So essentially a two bathroom room."
