Lido House, Autograph Collection 

Cape Cod-style meets California

Situated in LA’s oceanfront burb of Newport Beach, Lido House is everything a dreamy and docile escape on the Californian coast should be. Sandy footprints, Pacific Ocean views and the tinkle of ice in glasses at the rooftop bar.

Expect storm lanterns in the bedrooms, vintage surfboards propped up on the roof deck and Nantucket nautical colours layered into every stylish space. The hotel sits where the old City Hall used to be in a sun soaked position just a five-minute walk from Lido Marina Village. Here, the likes of Nobu confirm you’ve landed in a chic spot. You’re also five minutes from miles of beautiful shoreline and gentle waves. Hire a boat and you can go real estate spotting amongst the marvellous mansions where many a celebrity has owned a home.

Why we love Lido House, Autograph Collection

  • Speak to the Social Captain to arrange a cruise along the harbour, a round of golf or a surfing lesson

  • Take the classic Woody Wagon complimentary shuttle service to explore Lido Marina Village

  • Newport Beach is a popular destination for whale watching - grey whales may be seen in winter and spring whilst the mighty blue whale may be seen during the summer and autumn months

  • Head to Corona del Mar State beach to join a Newport Beach tradition of lighting a fire on the beach to roast s'mores as the sun sets
