Bay Shores Peninsula Hotel

Located on Newport Beach’s Balboa Peninsula, Bay Shores Peninsula Hotel reimagines a classic 1960s surf motel as a design-forward boutique retreat rooted in coastal California style. The 25-room property blends mid-century charm with contemporary craftsmanship, featuring individually designed guestrooms with custom furnishings, curated local artwork, and elevated amenities including Bellino Italian linens, Simone Fan robes, and Kiehl’s bath products.

Positioned between the Pacific Ocean and Newport Harbor, the hotel offers easy access to Newport’s best, from surfing and sailing to biking along the peninsula. Guests can enjoy two rooftop decks—The Penny and The Pearl—with panoramic harbor-to-ocean views, alongside an all-day café serving Coffee Manufactory espresso, pastries from Crema, and Mediterranean-inspired fare. With thoughtful touches like complimentary cruisers and curated beach kits, Bay Shores delivers a relaxed yet refined California beach escape.
