Orange County For Maximalists

Newport Beach is known for its beaches and beautiful harbor, but the brand-new Pendry Newport Beach (from $395 per night; www.pendry.com) feels more like a sophisticated city hotel than a beach retreat. The 295 guest rooms, including

114 suites, designed by Studio Munge, Italo-Canadian designer Alessandro Munge’s conceptual architecture, landscaping and interior design firm, have couches and lounge chairs that are the colors of green olives, while silver accents like mirrored lamps and black-and-white carpets grace the suites. Green is a prominent feature throughout the hotel, and tall palm trees and other foliage surround the expansive pool deck and add to the vibe.

The hotel is also the home of The Elwood Club, a modern members’ club in a private wing that Studio Munge also designed. The Entertainment Room bar resembles a piece of jewelry with its champagne brass and metal canopy.

Surf Lodge Meets Positano

Part of the Auric Road Collection, a boutique hotel group known for considered properties like the Korakia in Palm Springs, Hotel Joaquin (from $478 per night; www.hoteljoaquin.com) in Laguna Beach, which opened in 2018, is a seaside stay that stands out in SoCal. It’s neither a sprawling beach resort nor a surf-side motel. It’s a Mediterranean-inspired adults-only hideaway that feels current and timeless at the same time. Rooms have vinyl record players instead of television sets, as well as one-of-a-kind vintage pieces, while the bathrooms boast hand-cut tile and brass fixtures. Public spaces like the lobby and restaurant Saline open onto terraces that cascade down to a pristine pool deck. The property’s crisp white walls, curated art and ocean and island views (Catalina Island can be seen from some vantage points) could almost trick you into thinking you’re on the Amalfi Coast.

Laguna Beach’s Hotel Joaquin imparts a timeless quality that will make guests feel instantly at home.

It is woven into the fabric of the important work that they do every day; improving the quality of life for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) in our community by providing a lifetime of compassionate support in an atmosphere of respect, inspiration, and purpose.

At the center of this critical and complex care are the Direct Support Professionals that ensure people with I/DD are safe, healthy and have the opportunity to lead a life that they aspire to live. A job that takes patience, and acceptance. One must be open-minded and prepared to navigate unique circumstances.

Meet Tina Newkirk. Over her 34 years at Lifehouse she has dedicated her life to making sure that the individuals with I/DD she supports are seen, heard and guided on their journey to meet their own dreams. Some of those relationships have spanned her entire career with the organziation, like Lily who Tina describes as having a great sense of humor, is clever and creative. This also includes the 14 individuals that participate in a support group at the Del Ganado apartments that she facilitated for many years.

When asked about her calling to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities Tina responded, “Lifehouse is my home away from home. It’s hard to put into words where the calling comes from since I have such a deep gratitude for being able to do the work that I do. I’m rewarded every week with an overwhelming sense of warmth and pride. For all of our differences, our feelings are ultimately the thing that connects us all and makes us human. Right?”
