Book This Hotel
Originally opened as a private club in 1948, Balboa Bay Club & Resort has hosted five U.S. presidents, business leaders, and A-list Hollywood celebrities. Set on 15 acres alongside Balboa Bay in Newport Beach, the resort still contains a private club.
The main building, constructed around a courtyard with a heated outdoor pool, contains most guestrooms; including the restaurant, lounge, and library lounge. A fitness center, several shops, and most function rooms are also in the main building.
The second building, known as the Clubhouse, contains the resort’s pro shop, hair salon, and 17,000-square-foot spa, which has a sauna, steam room, fitness area, treatment rooms, and locker rooms with living rooms and fireplaces. Wireless Internet access is available in public areas (surcharge), and the resort provides 17,000 square feet of meeting space.
Balboa Bay Club & Resort's business center, which has four computers, a fax machine, and a printer/copier (surcharge), is located in the main building. This Orange County resort is largely smoke-free; guests may smoke on room balconies. Yacht charters and fishing excursions are available. Complimentary transportation is provided to Newport Beach destinations, including to the beach itself.
