A Distinctive Stay on

Newport Harbor

Some hotels have a view. Balboa Bay Resort sits on it. Among Newport Beach hotels, ours puts you right on the harbor, where you can paddle out before breakfast, sink into the spa by afternoon, and end the day with cocktails by the fire pits. The bay is never far. Neither is anything else.
