Novato, California-based EDG Interior Architecture + Design will craft R.D. Olson Development’s new Lido House Hotel in Newport Beach, California. Architecture will be handled by WATG. Located at the threshold of the Balboa Peninsula, the 130-room hotel will replace the former Newport Beach City Hall.
Lido House will embody a bicoastal style, drawing influence from both historic California structures like the Balboa Pavilion as well as architecture styles commonly found in Cape Cod.
“The design of Lido House will explore the interconnectivity between the East and West Coasts, the allure of coastal living, and pay homage to Newport’s nautical history,” says Jennifer Johansen, CEO of EDG.
The hotel will feature a variety of guestroom designs in addition to suites, two-story villas, and a presidential suite. Additional amenities include a spa, restaurant, pool, rooftop bar, and meeting and retail spaces.
Plans for the four-story, 98,725-square-foot hotel were approved by the Newport City Council last year, and construction is slated to kick off this spring.
