Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, Hilton’s iconic luxury hotel brand, just debuted the Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort & Club, transforming the previous Monarch Beach Resort to the brand’s newest coastal retreat in Dana Point.
The award-winning AAA Five-Diamond resort in Orange County invites guests to enjoy California-inspired, unforgettable experiences through the brand’s elegant and highly personalized service approach.
The new Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort & Club offers panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. With a private beach club, Monarch Bay Beach Club, resort guests, and club members are invited to experience an elevated slice of California’s beach culture with ocean activities as well as a beachfront bar and coastal-inspired restaurant.

Guestrooms and Suites

All rooms feature lavish textiles, comfortable chaise lounges, ocean-inspired artwork, and marble top armoires to complement the full marble baths. Modern patio furniture adorns the balconies of every room and suite, and first-floor patios feature fire pits to evoke a true beach lifestyle.
