The Avenue of Arts Costa Mesa offers an ideal location within walking distance of Costa Mesa’s theaters, art collections and shopping districts. It’s also situated halfway between the beach and Disneyland. A free shuttle can transport families to and from the John Wayne Airport and Disneyland, making it convenient for families to get around.

Renovated in 2016, the deep purples and modern vibes give this hotel a Palm Springs resort feel minus the desert. The outdoor pool overlooks a community pond area and small garden nooks can be found throughout the property, inviting guests to hang out and relax.

The guestrooms are spacious and beautifully designed. The convenience of the onsite restaurant makes meals easy for families, too.

Theater, music and art collections are brought into the design of the 238 guestrooms and suites. Large murals and colorful furniture and amenities can be found in the modern rooms, but they are still casual enough to live in and be enjoyed by the kiddos too. All of the rooms feature hardwood floors and smart televisions to stream your devices. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available to hotel members and it is free to become a member. Cribs, a mini-fridge and connecting rooms are available upon request.

Guestrooms

The guestrooms feature one king or two queen beds with outlets by the bed, a flat-screen television, coffeemaker and a shower or tub in the bathroom. A sleeper sofa is also featured in the king bed rooms, but not in the two queen bed rooms. The balcony overlooks the arts district or pond area below.

Suites

The spacious suites feature one king or two queen beds with outlets by the bed and a flat-screen television. In a separate living room area (separated by a door), there is a large sleeper sofa, dining table, coffeemaker and a second flat-screen television. Showers and tubs (separate) are available in the bathrooms. The suites feature a balcony that looks out onto the arts district or pond area. Wireless charger pads can also be found by the bedside in the suites.

Outdoor Pool

The heated, outdoor pool overlooks the pond area and is a great place to hang out after a day of shopping or before seeing a show. Lounge chairs and umbrellas surround the pool deck and implore relaxation for the adults, while the kids can swim and play. The pool is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and pool towels are provided. Beverage service is available at the pool and a restroom is situated nearby.

Pond and Walking Trails

The rear of the hotel looks out onto a community pond and large courtyard. Paved trails surround the pond and can lead families to the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, South Coast Plaza shopping district and several restaurants. There are several sculptures and art pieces to admire along the way.

Gardens

The hotel has done a great job with bringing the outside in and the inside out. There are small grassy gardens with chairs, tables, couches and heat lamps situated throughout the property. These garden nooks are great places to read a book or run and play. Free yoga classes also happen in the gardens often.

Silver Trumpet Restaurant

The onsite restaurant offers families breakfast, lunch and dinner in both indoor and outdoor seating on the patio. The California cuisine always includes local and organic ingredients on the always-changing, seasonal menu. The restaurant is open from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. and again from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday and it opens at 7 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
