we finally made it to the Fairmont Newport Beach to see if it would be a good, i mean, great hotel for our out of town friends and family....
and it was! for all you coastal orange county brides out there, here's a little bit about this hotel:
the Fairmont NB recently completed a $32 million renovation. it offers 440 luxury guest rooms, including 54 suites, most featuring over-sized soaking tubs. all rooms include marble entries, 32" LCD HDTVs, DVDs and Bose sound systems. the new fitness center features state of the art Techno Gym equipment with built in LCD monitors. it is conveniently located right down the street from John Wayne airport, and about 10 mins from coastal Newport Beach.
now that i've given you the hotel's run down of their property, let me tell ya what i think! honestly from the second you step foot in the lobby, it feels very tropical, but upscale too. their staff seems to be very eager to help and is quite accommodating (and we didn't even spend more than an hour at the hotel)! the rooms are beautiful, they are giving us a fab rate ($149), since it's meant to appeal to business men, the rates go down over weekends, giving us a waaay better deal than what we were quoted at the nearby NB Marriott or the Island Hotel!
the best part, we set up our room block, and they don't put in an "attrition" clause; meaning that if we ask for 30 rooms to be blocked and only 20 are picked up by our guests, we don't have to pay for those extra 10 rooms we didn't need! make sure when planning your room blocks that your hotel doesn't make you do this!
and without further ado.. snapshots for you visual enjoyment

and honestly these picks do not do the place justice!
