The goal of most luxury hotels is to create a personalized experience for their guests whether it be by offering special packages, room amenities, or around-the-clock service; but the Island Hotel will soon be taking personalized service to a new level — literally.

Situated on the 20th floor of the Island Hotel is the newly developed Island Club, a luxurious space that was transformed from a presidential suite to a personalized, private lobby with amenities tailored specifically to the needs of guests. With floor-to-ceiling windows that offer views of the Newport Beach coastline and harbor,and comfortable, stylish furnishings throughout,  you’d think you were on an island all your own! The Club provides the ideal backdrop and setting for your stay whether it be for business or pleasure; not to mention the presence of Club Ambassadors who will keep track of your preferences, dietary needs, and housekeeping requests — they can even arrange your dry cleaning!

If business is the reason for your stay, the Island Club’s concierge service can set up meetings, reserve dinners, and organize any arrangements you may need to have a successful business trip. With comfortable iMac workstations placed strategically throughout the room (offering just enough privacy so that guests can hold small business conferences if desired) and tables that come equipped with plugins for electronics, the Club provides the ideal workspace.

The best part? After business is finished, you can stay and relax in front of one of four flat screen televisions (one 80-inch and three 20-inch) or enjoy wine, beer, and champagne during the “wine down” hour. And let’s face it, the point of working hard is to be able to reward yourself, so explore the culinary options at hand! Breakfast, midday snacks and small plates are available, with options ranging from fresh fruits and baked goods to homemade soups and wraps to cheese plates paired with your favorite wine. If the purpose of your visit is to simply enjoy your stay, take advantage of this vacation time and explore the Club’s access to wet areas in The Spa, its full DVD library and its special pillow menu.

Doubling as both a business den and a room for relaxation and respite, Island Club can be your home away from home during your visit to Newport Beach. The real beauty of the Club is that how you use it is entirely up to you; so take a minute, take a breath, and soak in the serenity of your own personal island.
