Earlier this year, we featured Hyatt Regency Irvine and showcased the property’s $55 million transformation. That transformation propelled this hotel into a powerful position: a perfect example of modern day hospitality, and something that we just know will be a trendsetter for years to come as others follow in their footsteps. To learn more about the overall experience, rooms & suites, amenities and features, check out our initial coverage here or in video format here.

Luxurious and elegant, yet approachable, Hyatt Regency Irvine embraces forward-thinking ideas to solutions, while eliminating much of the noise and friction that travelers and guests have grown accustomed to with most hotel experiences. During our recent follow up visit, we had an opportunity to see the newest additions to the property that were not quite complete during our first tour: the acclaimed Regency Club, pool & cabanas, the pavilion, lawn, Warehouse 72, and outdoor escapes that feel like you’ve stepped out of the urban sprawl and into a pocket of wilderness. Not only are these bonus attractions for celebrations, events, and special occasions, but Hyatt Regency Irvine is giving guests a thrilling reason to come to back with its own seasonal events!
While in a great location not too far from Disney, beaches, and other attractions, the property accomplishes a feeling of “home” and makes it difficult to even think about leaving. We start with some of the food options, as Hyatt Regency Irvine smartly provides 3 main locations within steps of one another for families to decide on meals, and all of them plenty of options. For the a-la-cart-friendly and picky eaters — while also money-saving — The Market is always a great grab-and-go stop that saves on time with its own hot picks and seasonal offerings. The Regency Club has something for everyone, while somewhat of a surprise and ensuring all-day options that never get old. And finally, Warehouse 72 steps things up even further while still a fitting destination for families and adults alike. Read on, and/or watch here for the full rundown of the latest.
Classics Reimagined & Cultural Favorites at Warehouse 72
Walking into Hyatt Regency Irvine, the natural flow of the property encapsulates and carries you, like wind through a tunnel. As you stroll from the lobby and into the distance where Warehouse 72 awaits, the eyes wonder even further, through the patio doors and onto the pool’s giant screen. This seamless and natural flow is unstoppable, but then you snap back. While each breathtaking sight at the property leads to another, Warehouse 72 fits right in with Hyatt Regency Irvine‘s aesthetics and design. The hotel’s third party signature restaurant, welcomes guests within an open, elegant, and lively atmosphere. Borrowing from the hotel’s tech prowess, Warehouse 72 features two of its own stunning LED screens that envelop guests and virtually transport them to a number of stunning artistic destinations on display.
Immediately, we began to see the vision of what Warehouse 72 can accomplish as an attraction beyond their incredible dishes. The screens set the stage for quiet and romantic evenings of bliss, tactful business summit afternoons, and even the thrills of exciting sport nights at the wraparound bar. A transformative space, Warehouse 72 offers reimagined American classics, and boldly delivers on international favorites from its appetizers and entrees to its desserts.
Appetizers we tried include a flavor-bursting Kampachi Crudo featuring Peri Peri sauce, grilled pineapple, soy-citrus emulsion, crispy garlic, smoked sea salt, and the innovative House-Made Fried Mozzarella: Hand-stretched mozzarella, fresh marinara, Parmesan, and micro basil. Guests can’t go wrong with entrees like their melt-in-your-mouth Pork Belly Kimchi Fried Rice: Crispy pork belly, fried rice, kimchi, gochujang, and green onions; or tender and juicy Peruvian Roasted Jidori Chicken: Peruvian marinated Jidori half chicken, spiced crispy marble potatoes, grilled broccolini, aji verde, micro cilantro, and fresh lime.
To put dessert simply, there’s nothing else like Warehouse 72’s Frozen S’mores! Playful, fun, and absolutely delicious, these s’mores are hard to imagine based one their name alone, but the surprise reveal is worth it in the end. Great for kids and adults, it was one of our highlights of the evening. And if you’re a lover of butterscotch, the Butterscotch Budino is a blissful treat made of butterscotch custard, caramel, dark chocolate pearls and chantilly cream. For more kid-like fun with an adult twist, we recommend the seasonal “Fall on Flavor” cocktail, topped with toasted marshmallow puree, or the “Purple Gremlin” for a mocktail that’s full on flavor and more than just a mixed juice.
Well-Rounded Regency Club
Gone are the days of relying on the old continental breakfast to push you through the morning, and here are the days of something much more robust. Regency Club offers a rotating menu of meals and snacks from morning to evening. During our visit, breakfast ranged from scrambled eggs, mindful sausage options, and pancakes, to biscuits, gravy, oatmeal, and a variety of pastries. After breakfast, guests can look forward to a midday snack offering like cookies and trail mix. Dinner features bold and flavorful staples from across the world that the hotel’s guests will know and love.
Finally, dessert is always a plus as Hyatt Regency Irvine treats, guests to tarts, cakes, cookies, and more. The beauty of Regency Club is that it has such a low barrier cost, making it worth it for everyone. In fact, there are promotions for the bunk suites, offering club access for the duration of a stay. The Regency Club was such a hit, that we found the breakfast rush to be quite surprising and almost overwhelming.
They say the early bird gets the worm, but in this case we think the early bird gets peace. The Regency Club was clearly popular on our first morning, with many people coming in – yet plenty of seats left. On day 2, Regency Club was nearly at capacity, with barely any seats available during the height of the breakfast rush — typically the last hour or so before breakfast ends, and everyone is rushing to get their share. We realized that a very large family was the primary reason for the near-shortage of seats, and still the room never felt entirely cramped.
Thankfully, the Regency Club has an outdoor patio with additional seating, making it perfect for those hectic and bustling mornings. Regency Club boasts in assortment of options for the health and diet-conscious, with milk available in a mini refrigerator, soft drinks available in another mini refrigerator, taps for beer, a cocktail menu, and the embrace of technology, featuring a café that can do it all. From hot chocolate and lattes to espressos and hot tea, there’s always a reason to come back to the club and refuel or take a culinary journey.
Resort-Style Pool & Cabanas
Interestingly, the property never feels too massive to navigate. We never felt lost or needed to ask for directions, and in the event that something has been forgotten in the suite, it never feels like a burden to go back for it – even while at the pool. The pool itself is a marvel to look at. It gradually and seamlessly slopes from its shallow end to the deeper end, making it easy to look after children, while also easy to access. The pool is flanked by a jacuzzi and 2 waterslides that lead into a shallow smaller pool, which kids are able to play in outside of the waterslide hours of operation.
In addition, there are plentiful lounge, chairs, and the most spectacular private cabana available for rental. On one hand, there are your standard cabana, though we argue that there is nothing standard about them. And on the other hand, are the premium cabanas, which feature fire pits and extended gated space, making perfect for group events like parties. Cabanas feature a television, dedicated speakers with remotes to control music and tv volume, ceiling fans & light control, curtains for privacy, and incredibly comfortable outdoor furniture that we wish we could take home.
The big star of the pool area is the massive 24-by-17-foot LED screen that is great for evening viewing, but still great and easy to see during the day — a challenge that General Manager Sid Ramani was determined to overcome. He found that many hotels with outdoor screens started family movie times too late in the evening due to the time that the sun sets, while many families are ready to pack up and return to their rooms after a long day. Other nice touches include RFID-equipped towels stored in a dedicated machine where guests simply swipe their room key for access. This system keeps the towels linked to the guests room. And one done using them, the towels simply get dropped off into the nearby dropbox, making it easy for guests to avoid additional charges. In the event that towels are taken to a guests room, they will be notified to return their towel within a certain time window — and their RFID technology makes them findable in the event that housekeeping removes them.
In the future, guests can expect a dedicated outdoor dining area to pick up fresh meals and snacks, with more than enough seating to enjoy a quick recharge without leaving the pool entirely.
Pavilion, Lawn, and Additional Outdoor Areas
The pavilion and lawn add to Hyatt Regency Irvine’s already extensive event space. The property is capable of holding multiple events all at once, and as we learned, it has performed well under pressure as a dedicated concert venue while hosting thousands of guests. Its outdoor pavilion stands tall and elevated, making it a great hideaway from California’s elusive rainy days, while the gorgeous lawn is picture perfect for any occasion. From weddings and concerts, to holidays and sporting events, it’s evident that Hyatt Regency Irvine knows its potential, and more than meets the moment every time.

The property’s vast expanse of space maintains a running theme from suites to recreational areas: intention. From the outdoor patio of Warehouse 72 to a special “off-trail” section near the pool containing fire pits, seating, and protection from the sun, Hyatt Regency Irvine delivers indoor and outdoor satisfaction. Despite being in the business district of Irvine, this these touches successfully transport guests to feel secluded and away from the restless city. Guests can expect the ability to roast marshmallows and make s’mores, as well as additional functional use during special events.

Los Angeles has its sights, sounds, and tastes with so many top locations and scenes to choose from peppered across the region. However, there is one fairly recent addition located near one of the most famous icons of this sprawling city, and it happens to be a thriving venue for Mediterranean classics, favorites, and unique twists.
MON AMI just celebrated their 1st-year anniversary, complete with a special event on Cinco de Mayo to toast their first year of memories. Nestled along the picturesque Ocean Avenue strip in Santa Monica, MON AMI presents a captivating fusion of Mediterranean flavors and ambiance. Stepping through its doors, guests are greeted with the French phrase “mon ami,” setting the tone for an enchanting journey reminiscent of the cobblestone streets and sun-kissed beaches of the Mediterranean region.
Under the guidance of Nas Negahban from Pacific Coast Group (PCG), a seasoned traveler with a passion for authentic culinary experiences, MON AMI strives to mirror the richness of Mediterranean cultures in every aspect. Born and raised in Santa Monica, Nas is committed to elevating his hometown’s hospitality scene to reflect the sophistication of beachside cities he has encountered abroad. This is present in every aspect of MON AMI’s ambiance, from its lush indoor-outdoor seating surrounded by greenery, to its late-night live entertainment and picture-perfect cocktails. MON AMI is meticulously curated to enchant and immerse guests.
Speaking on his inspiration and MON AMI’s concept, Nas explains, “I’ve always had a passion for building new concepts and brands across various industries. We currently have a few restaurants in Spain and other countries but Santa Monica is home. If you go to any other city in the world or even just the United States, the epicenter of hospitality is by the water – PCH Group’s goal is to do the same with Santa Monica here in Los Angeles.”
In addition to its ambiance and mesmerizing live entertainment, the culinary escape offers impeccable cocktails and dishes from its kitchen helmed by Chef Daniel Ulrich. The kitchen sources fresh, local ingredients from farmers’ markets to infuse traditional Mediterranean recipes with a touch of California flair. Chef Daniel, a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu, credits Wally’s Beverly Hills for his experience, and his dedication to understanding the cultural and geographical significance of each ingredient ensures an authentic culinary experience.
Guests are encouraged to begin their meal with a customizable mezze platter, a modern take on charcuterie featuring options like Prosciutto Wrapped Tomatoes and Whipped Feta with house-made flatbread. For mains, dishes like the 7 Spice Jidori Chicken and saffron-infused Lobster pasta offer generous portions meant for sharing, while being irresistible enough to enjoy solo. Complementing the culinary offerings, MON AMI’s experienced bartending team crafts cocktails that are nothing short of extraordinary. Each drink is a carefully balanced masterpiece, showcasing innovative combinations and premium ingredients. From the refreshing El Rey to the intriguing Caprese-inspired concoction, MON AMI’s cocktail menu promises an unforgettable experience for discerning palates.
You’re Invited: First Class Dinner Series
With Mother’s Day around the corner, MON AMI makes a great destination, and if you’re one to beat the crowds – or wait until they’ve left – MON AMI is always looking at ways to up the ante and immerse its guests with unforgettable and unique culinary immersions. On Sunday, May 12, MON AMI will hold a Mother’s Day pop-up brunch, making it a hot destination to deliver only the best for mom.
Then, on Friday, May 17, guests can enjoy the beginning of MON AMI’s new First Class Dinner series with a “visit” to Barcelona. The evening will star a four-course Spanish meal with two curated cocktails, live Catalan music, and Flamenco dancers, while guests can frequent Jamon and Sangria stations. And to make the experience all the more memorable, guests will leave with a “passport” to commemorate their “trip.”

Providing some background on the idea behind the First Class Series and future occasions, Nas hints, “We are doing some pretty cool activations and partnerships for the Summer that we are very excited about. We are also launching our First Class Series – which is an immersive, experiential dining experience that I’ve only really seen in Europe. We think this will bring a lot of eyes and allure to Mon Ami this summer.” This surely makes it an exciting time to stop in, whether you’re a local, or just visiting from out of town!
With its evocative ambiance, delectable cuisine, and exceptional hospitality, MON AMI invites guests to embark on a sensory voyage through the Mediterranean without ever leaving the magnetic shores of Santa Monica.

If you needed some mental rejuvenation as that Summer vacation you booked begins to close in, there’s someone out there who can help with unparalleled “sound therapy” and some enthusiastic participation from you, the listener. On May 5, world-renowned pianist Chad Lawson released breathe (guided breathwork edition), a new deluxe edition of his luminous album breathe, via Decca Records US. Released for Mental Health Awareness Month, the album includes a series of guided breathwork tracks, with Lawson’s soothing voice guiding listeners through simple techniques.
As both the creator and host of the iHeartRadio Award-nominated podcast Calm It Down, Lawson has established himself as an essential voice exploring the intersection of music and wellness. Says Lawson of the album: “I created breathe (guided breathwork edition) to offer an accessible and engaging experience for listeners seeking relaxation and balance. This album combines calming breathwork techniques with the emotive power of music, providing an easy-to-follow journey towards inner peace. I’m passionate about supporting mental health, and I hope this album can provide comfort and relief during life’s challenges.”
Lawson’s breathe debuted last year at #1 on the Billboard Classical Crossover Chart. Now, the guided breathwork edition offers listeners a unique opportunity to pause, relax, and learn breathing techniques such as sama vritti (box breathing) from Lawson himself. These tracks provide a moment for listeners to take a break from their daily lives and embark on a cathartic listening experience.
Additionally, the album includes reworks of tracks from breathe, previously released as part of Lawson’s drift EP and Apple Music Home Session, along with a new orchestral version of “letting go.” The reworks are a testament to Lawson’s ability to continually reimagine his music in new and innovative ways.
Chad Lawson’s 2022 album breathe marked the next chapter in a career that’s consistently found the official Steinway artist at the top of the Classical Billboard charts and signing major sync deals for Chevrolet, IBM, Microsoft, and Delta Airlines commercials. Lawson is the creator of Calm it Down, a podcast aimed at helping individuals cope with emotional and mental challenges using mindfulness, meditation, and focused breathing techniques. The podcast has surpassed 3.5 million downloads. He most recently released a piano cover of Harry Styles’ hit ballad “Matilda.” You can listen to Lawson’s take on the track here: “Matilda.” And you can also listen to the full album.
