Perched along the Balboa Peninsula, Doryman’s Oceanfront Inn carries with it more than a century of Newport Beach history. Originally built in the early 1900s, the building served as a bunkhouse for local fishermen of the Dory Fishing Fleet. Today, after careful restoration, the inn stands as a striking example of preserved Victorian architecture by the sea. Its restored façade, intricate woodwork, and handcrafted finishes honor the spirit of early 20th-century Newport while providing guests with the comforts expected of a modern boutique hotel.

Located steps from the Newport Pier, the inn connects directly to the boardwalk and beach, offering guests the same ocean views that once greeted fishermen setting out at dawn. Inside, antique furniture, period-style wallpaper, and marble accents create a sense of timeless elegance. While the setting feels historic, the experience remains fresh — combining old-world character with the ease of modern hospitality. Staying at Doryman’s isn’t just about a room with a view; it’s about stepping into a living piece of coastal history.
