Earlier this year, we featured Hyatt Regency Irvine and showcased the property’s $55 million transformation, then most recently we followed up on the completion of the renovation. The opening of Warehouse 72, the pool and cabanas, lawn, pavilion, and Regency Club have set the stage for a staycation destination that is complete with all that guests could need.
These new additions have propelled Hyatt Regency Irvine into a powerful position, and now the hotel is taking on seasonal celebrations to really immerse guests during their getaways.

Throughout Summer and Fall, Hyatt Regency Irvine took to throwing special events centered around different events, like the Super Bowl, 2024 Olympics, and Halloween. These events often took place in the fairly recently opened additions outside of the hotel, taking advantage of the large spaces at the pool, fire pits, and lawn & pavilion.
Now, the hotel is upping the ante by bringing the holiday cheer into the suites!
Available as a bookable package, the Holiday Magic Suite is fully outfitted with Christmas lights, wreaths, an in-suite Christmas tree, cozy plaid blankets and other seasonal decor to create a warm, festive atmosphere. The suite, spacious enough for families and groups, includes a large living room and kitchen, a primary bedroom, a bunkbed room, two bathrooms and a private balcony.
To make the experience extra memorable, guests will also receive a cookie welcome amenity, perfect for a “Night Before Christmas” celebration ahead of Santa’s anticipated arrival on Christmas morning. To complete the experience, Holiday Magic Suite guests will enjoy a complimentary one-hour private S’mores experience at Hyatt Regency Irvine’s outdoor firepit and patio. How’s that for getting into holiday cheer?

Katie Nartonis’ book California Desert Artists is an insightful tribute to the vibrant art scene inspired by California’s desert landscapes. Known for her expertise in 20th-century art and design, Nartonis delves into the lives and works of artists who have been drawn to the Coachella Valley, Joshua Tree, and surrounding desert regions. Her work explores how these arid settings shaped the artistic visions of both past and contemporary creatives.
The book captures the allure of the desert—its stark beauty, distinctive light, and tranquil isolation—that has historically inspired painters, sculptors, and craftspersons. By featuring the narratives of these artists, the book serves as both a historical document and an aesthetic exploration, celebrating the interplay between environment and creativity. Readers can expect richly illustrated content alongside Nartonis’ well-researched prose, providing a visual feast and thoughtful analysis.
This volume is especially valuable for those interested in regional art history and how environmental factors influence artistic production. It debuted at the 29 Palms Book Festival, reflecting the author’s deep connection to the region and its creative community.
