On both the front and backside of the lobby, folding glass NanaWalls will create a true indoor-outdoor experience, while the hotel entrance will welcome guests with a breathtaking pier-inspired entrance with a massive circular waterfall that leads into the lobby. “This fuses seamlessly with the unique spirit of California’s own ‘Riviera’ to set the scene for a gathering place alive with both sophisticated energy and treasured pockets of tranquility…” remarks General Manager Debbie Snavely of Marriott. From warm woods and muted neutrals to delicate marble and sculptural glass, the materials used in the reconstruction of VEA will embody the essence of the world’s greatest waterfront destinations from around the world. In terms of design, the hotel is being refresh to focus on the property’s iconic ocean view. But for those in search of a secluded staycation, the hotel will also be a place for tucking away, whether it betime spent in a wellness suite or at the all-new SpaVea. The property will feature a vibrant pool scene, regular live music performances, designer fashionĮxperiences at neighboring Fashion Island and dynamic culinary experiences. And given its unique location, situated just steps from Fashion Island and only a short drive from the coast, VEA Newport Beach will serve as a “social sanctuary”-a place to get away in the center of it all. VEA, which means “see,” will celebrate the property’s defining ocean and city views and offer experiences that embody the quintessential elements of Newport Beach. Guests can look forward to new coastal-chic guest rooms, two new suite categories, three newly imagined dining concepts, a wellness-focused spa, a high-performance fitness center, expansive indoor and outdoor event spaces and a luxury destination pool experience. This spring, locals and visitors can book a vacation at the all-new VEA Newport Beach, a Marriott Resort & Spa! Formerly the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel & Spa, this centrally located property is undergoing a total top-to-bottom reimagination.
