A New Global Standard of Resort Luxury Opens on the Southern California Coastline
The Resort at Pelican Hill is the Newest Addition to the Newport Beach Hotel
& Resort Portfolio
NEWPORT BEACH, Ca. (Dec. 3, 2008) – The Resort at Pelican Hill™, a
spectacular new ultra luxury resort has officially opened on the coast of
Newport Beach in southern California. A masterpiece in the making, the
highly anticipated resort blends the principles of classical Italian architecture
with casual California elegance to take its place among the world's finest
destinations.
Pelican Hill joins an impressive portfolio of hotel and resort properties offered
in Newport Beach which include: The Balboa Bay Club & Resort, Fairmont
Newport Beach, Hyatt Regency Newport Beach, The Island Hotel Newport
Beach, Newport Beach Marriott Bayview, Newport Beach Marriott Hotel &
Spa, Radisson Newport Beach, Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort & Marina, in
addition to nine charming boutique inns and small hotels.
"With unbelievable attention to detail a stay at The Resort at Pelican Hill is an
unforgettable, one-of-a-kind immersive experience," said Gary C. Sherwin,
President and CEO of Newport Beach Conference & Visitors Bureau, following
the official debut of the resort on Nov. 26, 2008. "Pelican Hill is destined to
become iconic around the world for the California good life – it is indeed the
new global benchmark in resort luxury."
The Resort at Pelican Hill is perched on 504-acres of sun-trenched, terraced
hillside. Inspired by the Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio, the
resort village – with its rotundas and stately colonnades – features expansive
hotel Bungalow Suites and Villa accommodations that dot the hillsides and
provide magnificent unobstructed views of the blue Pacific Ocean.
Featuring unforgettable panoramic views of the Pacific and Santa Catalina
Island in the distance (on one of the most pristine locations on the Southern
California coast) The Resort at Pelican Hill is already a member of The Leading
Hotels in the World, an exclusive collection of the world's top luxury hotels
and resorts. At Pelican Hill, golf, spa and gourmet dining find exquisite
expression.
The new resort vacation destination, 20-years in the making, has set a new
paradigm for style, comfort and beauty among the world's finest resorts
featuring the finest accommodations and amenities: all ocean views, 204
elaborate bungalow suites (847 to 2,486 square feet), 128 two-three-four-
bedroom villas (2,193 to 3,581 square feet) with private garages, kitchens,
ocean view terraces, private clubhouse and pool; 36 holes of Tom Fazio
designed golf, a spa of unequaled indulgence, a magnificent 136 foot
coliseum-inspired pool and four gourmet dining experiences.
The resort is the ultimate high-end destination offering an incomparable
venue for upscale incentive events and the very highest level of service and
pre-planning. Each of the two, three and four-bedroom villas come complete
with an around-the-clock staff of personal butlers, concierges and
housekeepers.
The villas provide executives hosting exclusive events an option that is an
extension of their luxury lifestyle, allowing them to entertain and reward top
performers as if they were in their own gracious and comfortable homes. The
resort also features 20,000 square feet of detached function space with an
array of indoor and outdoor venues.
Details abound in this unbelievable escape from daily reality, carefully
constructed to look as though it had sprouted from a northern Italian hillside
in the 1500s. Craftsmen hand applied thousands of hand-cut glass tiles in the
136-foot-diameter, circular saltwater pool inspired by Rome's Coliseum
(including tiered decks and deluxe private cabanas). Landscapers planted 750
mature (100 years old or more) olive trees while hand-cut ceiling beams of
Cypress wood are featured in La Cappella, the wedding venue with
unbelievable ocean views.
When international golf legend Tom Fazio meticulously placed 36 holes among
natural arroyos and coastal shrub at The Resort at Pelican Hill, he created a
masterpiece. The Ocean North and Ocean South courses offer different
playing experiences but share one thing: the view. Every hole has been
designed to maximize the dramatic sight of the Pacific Ocean.
Situated on Newport Coast overlooking the Pacific Ocean, The Resort at
Pelican Hill is located adjacent to renowned Crystal Cove State Park and is in
close proximity to other popular destinations such as Corona Del Mar, Balboa
Island and Fashion Island. Convenient John Wayne/Orange County Airport is
within a ten-minute drive of the resort and all Newport Beach area hotels. For
