My wife and I stayed here for a wedding weekend in Newport Beach. After a few days in the Los Angeles/Santa Monica area taking in the tourist sights and fast-paced city life, Pelican Hill proved exactly what we needed to slow down and relax. We arrived early but were immediately warmly greeted and escorted to check-in, where our bags were taken for storage while we were familiarized with the property and made some wedding-adjacent plans with the salon and spa before a lunch at the Coliseum. The food was of good quality but the view took the experience to a whole new level, with the golf course fairway buttressing a view of the Pacific coast, all behind the massive Coliseum pool. A short burst of Southern California rain led to us sitting inside where the accommodations were plenty roomy and regal. After a few old fashions, the staff took us to our room in tidy, washed Mercedes-Benz SUVs. Our room also had been cleaned and neatly organized, with our bellman giving us a full tour of the various amenities. The back terrace had a great view of the ocean and of course the ubiquitous well-maintained hedges of the property. Quiet and well lit but spacious, two lounge chairs and a table with chairs made for a good reading and resting environment for the next few hours. I am coming up on the limit of this review but overall Pelican Hill sets the bar for professionalism and luxury. I will be recommending this as a place to stay for a long, long time, but will certainly return earlier.
