Large, upscale hotel for the beach-bound business crowd. Mar Yvette on
01-27-2008
In Short
Nestled within the Fashion Island shopping complex, this huge high-rise hotel bustles with business travelers during the week and beach fans on the weekends. Thanks to a dramatic $70 million overhaul, guests enjoy a modern decor of warm, soothing hues and natural accents like slate floors and fresh flowers. The 532 newly redesigned rooms feature featherbed-top mattresses, down pillows and 300-thread count sheets. Adding to the resort-like atmosphere are two heated pools, cabanas, bicycle rentals and full-service spa Pure Blu.
Hits: Pure Blu's signature cold water foot bath is a perfect way to jolt your senses after working up a sweat in the whirlpool, eucalyptus steam room or sauna.
Misses: The hotel's name might give potential resorters the idea that "It's only a Marriott," when in fact, the service and amenities at this location are on par with more high-end hotel chains.
