Cottage, 2 Bedrooms

The Cottage is set up with 1 King Bed or 2 Double Beds and sleeps up to 7 guests across its 1,278 sq. ft. A free crib is available on request for little ones. Children 12 and above are charged as adults at the hotel, which is worth bearing in mind when planning a family or group stay.

Yes. Each Lido House cottage has a full kitchen and a washer/dryer. The kitchen includes a dishwasher, an electric kettle, cookware, dishware and utensils, and there is a dining area. That makes it well suited to families, groups and longer stays where you want to prepare casual meals.

Lido House's cottages are three stories tall and are known for their rooftop views. For a drink with a wider outlook, Topside Roof Deck, Newport Beach's only rooftop bar, offers harbor and ocean views. It is open to guests 21 and over.

The private bathroom has a separate bathtub and shower, with bathrobes, designer toiletries, towels and a hair dryer. Accessible features include a grab bar near the toilet, a transfer shower, a height-adjustable showerhead, a portable bathtub seat, lever door handles and a low-height view port in the door. The hotel also has elevators and a sloped/lift pool entry.

It is a strong fit. Lido House is family-friendly, and the Cottage offers a living room that comfortably holds 6–8 people, two bedrooms, a kitchen, a washer/dryer and a free crib on request. The 55-inch TV with Netflix and streaming services helps keep everyone entertained. The cottage living rooms also suit morning-of gatherings for wedding parties.

The hotel sits at 3300 Newport Blvd at the entrance to the Balboa Peninsula. The beach is about a 5-minute walk, and Lido Marina Village's waterfront shops and restaurants are also about 5 minutes away. Newport Beach Pier and Balboa Village with the Fun Zone are each about an 11-minute walk. Guests can borrow the hotel's complimentary bikes to explore the marina boardwalk.

The hotel has a saltwater outdoor pool with cabanas, lawn games and poolside service. The pool area is on the small side. There is also Boost Spa, a 1,500-square-foot ocean-inspired spa, and a 24-hour fitness center with a Peloton bike. Dining includes The Mayor's Table, Topside Roof Deck, Kaiya Omakase Sushi + Bar and Crew Coffee + Cremerie.

Lido House is generally calm in the evenings, since Topside and the restaurant typically close by 10 pm on weekdays. Guests who want the quietest stay are advised to ask for a room away from the elevators and the rooftop bar. Make that request when booking.

A rental car isn't strictly necessary: the area around the hotel can be explored on foot or by bike, and rideshare covers farther trips such as Crystal Cove. John Wayne Airport is about a 12-minute taxi ride away. If you do drive, valet parking is $69 per day according to Marriott's site, and valet can handle vehicles outfitted for drivers in wheelchairs.
