Ever dream of a European escape—without leaving the coast? Lido House in Newport Beach just introduced “La Dolce Vita,” a luxe new summer experience inspired by the laid-back elegance of European vacations. Think: poolside spritz menus, rooftop brunches, spa days, and stays in the hotel’s designer cottages—now reimagined as chic seaside villas.
Pendry Newport Beach, located in the heart of Orange County’s coastal scene, is welcoming the season with a full lineup of new summer experiences—from private boat cruises and dive-in movie nights to exclusive shopping excursions, poolside pampering and more. Here’s a look at what’s happening this summer at Pendry Newport Beach:
The inaugural Newport Beach TV Fest, presented by the Newport Beach Film Festival, will take place June 5–8, 2025, at the historic Lido Theater.

Honorees include Taylor Dearden (The Pitt), Patrick Schwarzenegger (The White Lotus), Brandon Sklenar (1923), Meg Stalter (Hacks), and Chase Sui Wonders (The Studio).
