Hyatt Regency Irvine, a landmark hotel in Orange County, Southern California, will debut the final phase of its $55 million property-wide renovation in June.

A new pool experience and signature restaurant, Warehouse 72 Restaurant & Bar, will complete the hotel’s transformation following its fall 2023 re-opening. The extensive enhancements span the lobby, 516 guestrooms and suites, and elevated public areas, featuring a new artisanal market for all-day casual dining and the Regency Club, a spacious indoor-outdoor lounge with firepits and a curated beverage program. The hotel also offers more than 50,000 square feet of flexible meetings and events space, including an large outdoor lawn and the 14,600-square-foot Regency Ballroom, the largest of its kind in South Orange County.

Hyatt Regency Irvine’s new upscale pool experience is designed by GREC Architects. A zero-entry pool is complemented by a splash area and whirlpool spa, with a dedicated bar. The experience is completed with two hotel waterslides, a feature that can only be found at the property in the Irvine area. Surrounded by palm trees and native plants, the outdoor pool deck is dotted with pool chairs and private cabanas – two of which feature firepits and a larger cabana offers a dining table for six, allowing al fresco dining.

Additional outdoor entertainment is provided by a 24 by 17-foot LED screen, showing live sporting events, evening films, and more. The screen also has capabilities to display custom messaging and videos, offering an innovative way to enhance group gatherings at the hotel.
