Doryman’s Oceanfront Inn manages to preserve Newport Beach history while updating for modern needs. Its origins as a fishermen’s bunkhouse tie it to the community’s coastal roots. The restoration preserved architectural integrity—fireplaces, antique detailing, vintage motifs—while incorporating essential upgrades. Each of the 11 rooms now offers marble bathrooms, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and modern plumbing, all within interiors that reflect historic character.

Rather than converting to a generic hotel, Doryman’s retains unique rooms—with differences in layout, décor, and features—so each stay feels distinctive. The property also supports modern hospitality conveniences, including free onsite parking, room service from the restaurant below, and reference to contemporary comfort alongside preserved heritage.
