Autograph Collection Hotels, Marriott International’s distinctive collection of passionately independent hotels, invites travelers to uncover the beauty of the Southern California coastline with its road trip packages.
The curated packages are available from November through January 2019 at the brand’s three newest West Coast destinations: westdrift Hotel in Manhattan Beach, Lido House in Newport Beach and Hotel Republic in San Diego. Each hotel was hand-selected for Autograph Collection Hotels’ portfolio for its vision, design and craft, as well its strong role in the locale.
In collaboration with Vinty, the premier classic car hire service in California, the road trip packages provide travelers with the opportunity to rent one-of-a-kind vintage cars to drive along the iconic Pacific Coast Highway and find retreat at one or more of the brand’s newly opened hotels.
“We are thrilled to offer travelers curated road trip packages at Autograph Collection Hotels’ three newest Southern California hotels,” said Jennifer Connell, Vice President, Brand Marketing & Management, Autograph Collection Hotels. “Sharing our passion for individuality, VINTY will offer cars ranging from a 1957 Porsche Speedster to a 1967 Cadillac Deville, giving our global guests a personalized travel experience that is truly exactly like nothing else.”
Taking cues from the beach city founded by a New Yorker, the 26-acre westdrift Manhattan Beach is an exacting mix of ‘Endless Summer-meets-Eastern Seaboard,’ combining iconic design, amenities and culinary offerings that speak to both coasts. Designed by San Francisco-based EDG Design, westdrift features 393 coastal-infused luxury guest rooms and suites, all with stunning views and 112 of which feature private balconies. More than 35,000 square feet of indoor-outdoor space includes Jute Coastal Bar + Kitchen, which is anchored by a 360-degree bar.
At the nexus of Lido Isle, Lido Peninsula and Balboa Peninsula, the 130-room Lido House celebrates Newport Beach’s vibrant city, bustling marina and white-sand beaches. Set on the site of the former City Hall, this hotel seamlessly blends classic Cape Cod-style architecture with nautically inspired details to create an icon of sophisticated coastal style. Five tri-level private cottages provide the ultimate respite for relaxation, imparting guests with the privacy of a home with the amenities of a luxury resort. In addition to The Mayor’s Table restaurant and Topside rooftop bar and lounge, the hotel features a sun-kissed pool with vibrant courtyard and Boost Spa, focusing on energetic treatments.
From the picture-perfect rooftop bar to the sea-inspired guest rooms, Hotel Republic embodies San Diego’s laid-back ethos. Hotel Republic takes design cues from San Diego’s Oceanside location, with lofty ceilings and chandeliers made from reclaimed driftwood. Coastal inspiration continues in the guest rooms, furnished in contemporary neutral tones accented by blue tie-dyed pillows. Guests can take in San Diego’s bustling Downtown district from the hotel’s stylish rooftop lounge, where craft cocktails and light fare pair perfectly with breathtaking city and ocean views.
