Ritz-Carlton Residences
TMPLT: 12/01/17
Project Description:
The Ritz-Carlton Residences Project involves conversion of up to 30 percent of the existing 532-
room hotel at VEA Newport Beach, a Marriott Resort and Spa (formerly the Newport Beach Marriott)
into hotel branded residences pursuant to City Council Policy K-4 (Reducing the Barriers to the
Creation of Housing) and Director’s Determination No. DD2021-001. A pre-Coastal Act portion of the
existing hotel complex will be demolished to accommodate the construction of a new 22-story
building that would include up to 159 hotel-branded residential units and provide amenities including
a spa, pool, event lawn, and gym/fitness center. A new 5-level, 408-space subterranean parking
structure would be constructed beneath the new residential building. A new 6-level, 400-space
partially subterranean parking structure would replace the existing hotel parking structure in
substantially the same location and continue to serve the VEA Newport Beach hotel.
