Remember the not so exciting Hyatt Regency Irvine on Jamboree? It’s been transformed into Hotel Irvine, the newest and only indie brand lifestyle hotel of its kind in Orange County. It’s sporting a vibrant sleek and modern style, an updated personality and service experience, state of the art technology such as a theater outfitted with a high-tech interactive wall and updated work stations. Hotel Irvine also offers a new social hub with a collection of culinary offerings.
Hotel Irvine’s “HI” experience includes complimentary amenities for every overnight guest including WiFi access, Chef’s Everyday Breakfast, 24-hour food service room delivery, transportation to and from John Wayne Airport, health and fitness activities and even complimentary water in the guest room.
It also boasts a new 16,000 square foot dining and entertainment concept called EATS Kitchen & Bar, a bar/lounge called Red Bar and a Marketplace.
The EATS Kitchen & Bar menu offers American classics with a comfort food/gastro pub created by Orange County’s locally known Chef Jason Montelibano. It also offers delicious burgers, nightly dinner specials, craft beers, wine flights and shared plates in a gastro pub style. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The newly renovated lobby is like a jewel box of cut glass and bright colors with a frosted red bar top. Nearby, there’s a TV lounge, with a jumbo multi screen, sporting events televised and an adjacent outdoor deck with live music and weekend DJs.
All 536 rooms and suites have been totally renovated. There are subtle, sleek and modern bright color accents, as well as wireless blue tooth connections, fun games and popular magazines.
The Hotel’s new Backyard will feature a new 6,000 square foot Pavilion, an 8,000 square foot lawn, an upgraded Pool & Wet Bar, and Cabana Room. The Backyard will become an adult playground hosting public events, too.
