My wife and I had the pleasure of a short stay at the Island Hotel. The property is a short walk to Fashion Island and a short cab or drive to Newport or Corona Del Mar. Check in was a breeze and staff were helpful and courteous. The hotel has a gorgeous pool and jacuzzi amidst lush tropical gardens. Its... More

The hotel is excellent. Simple and to the point. Amazing view from the room and if toylike space the public areas will provide ample space. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. If you do not need to bring a car don't parking fee is excessive

Stayed here just one night. Had a beautiful suite with luxurious furnishings. The service was exceptional. Loved the views from the balconies. Dog friendly with a large grassy area to exercise pets. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Did not use the restaurant or room service.

Although the appearance of the hotel is phenomenal, service is terrible. My cousin and I were expecting to spend couple wonderful nights at this over-rated hotel, but what we experienced was the opposite of what a lot of the reviews here say. But it might just be bad luck for both of us. Upon our arrival, the check-in service was... More

The other option in Fashion Island is the Marriott, which is horrible. The Island Hotel was beautiful & understated overall, with well appointed rooms. The King deluxe room was very comfortable and a standard size with a smallish but nice bathroom. Service and restaurant were good & overall impression was pretty strong considering the room was about $230/night. It's really... More

This former Four Seasons is now locally managed by the large land-owner, The Irvine Company. One has to assume that some added depth of proven hotel and food & beverage talent could only improve what are some "good bones." Running an independent property, with no national reservation network/affiliation, is a true challenge. What also comes with higher end affiliations are... More

I really enjoyed my stay at Island Hotel. However, everything about it, the lobby, the restaurant, the elevators, the rooms, the pool, and the gym need updating. It really felt like the glory days are gone for this hotel, but due to its location and nice service, it seems to thrive and survive! The pool area, the chairs, and particularly... More

We stayed at The Island Hotel for two nights. It is a lovely property with excellent service. The rooms were beautiful and tasteful. The restaurant and bar areas are both good and there is a beautiful workout room as well as pool area. The best thing is its proximity to anything in Newport Beach especially Fashion Island where there are... More

I only stayed at The Island Hotel Newport Beach for one night, but wish it was longer. It was great. I was on a 3 week trip staying at 5 different hotels - many were very expensive. This was the best night of all. The rooms were beautiful, it was so clean and well maintained, and the staff was very... More
