Design Destination: Lido House

Author:

The town that John Wayne once called home, Newport Beach has long been a refuge for the elite due to its majestic harbor and laid-back beach bars and restaurants. With the recently debuted Lido House, part of the Autograph Collection Hotels by Marriott International and developed by R.D. Olson Development, the coastal retreat is quickly emerging as a premiere design destination.

With interior design led by EDG Design, Lido House builds upon the sophisticated, casual lifestyle popular in the area. Beach glamour, nautical flair and Cape Cod–style architecture are all expressed in the property’s 130 sleek guestrooms, 15,000-square-foot indoor-outdoor event space, signature restaurant, full-service spa, saltwater pool and Newport Beach’s only rooftop bar. Paying homage to the city’s five private islands, the resort features five residential-style cottages, each fully equipped with a gourmet kitchen, expansive living room, two bedrooms and a rooftop patio, showcasing the work of five notable, local firms.
