Best Marriott Hotels in Newport Beach

Shoppers and golfers should be pleased with this Marriott because it's sandwiched between the Newport Beach Country Club and Fashion Island shopping center in Newport Beach, California. And guest rooms meet the needs of discerning visitors – accommodations house marble bathrooms (with glass-enclosed showers), plasma TVs and pillow-top beds, while boasting desirable views of the Pacific, the Newport Beach Yacht Harbor or the golf course. But not all guests are impressed: Some travelers complain that steep fees for internet use and parking can add up quickly. However, members of the Marriott Rewards program can save on extra fees by using accumulated points to cover the tab. Meanwhile, on the premises you will find two heated pools, a steakhouse, a spa and a Starbucks Marketplace – all features that customers do enjoy.

Rubbing elbows with John Wayne Airport less than 20 miles southeast of downtown Anaheim, the Duke Hotel Newport Beach offers red-eye fliers a place to hang their hat in style. But previous visitors are quick to warn that you will pay considerably more here than you would at other nearby hotels of equal caliber (especially for valet parking). For more particular guests, the extra cash might be worth having access to the pillow-top mattresses, Keurig coffee makers, flat-screen TVs and marble bathrooms found in this Marriott outpost's guest rooms. Or, Marriott Rewards members can use accrued points to pay for rooms. The hotel also houses an outdoor pool and a 24-hour health club, but if you're in need of some extra rejuvenation following a long flight, consider making use of the spa. The facility provides a wide variety of massages and skin treatments. Should a bout of hunger kick in, head to one of two on-site restaurants.
