Tribute Portfolio, the tenth brand launched by Starwood Hotels & Resorts, has continued to grow its collection of distinct, upper-upscale properties on the West Coast with the addition of the Avenue of the Arts Hotel Costa Mesa. This property reinforces Tribute Portfolio’s focus on individual, design-forward hotels that reflect the character of their neighborhoods while providing a consistent level of upscale service.
Situated in the heart of Orange County’s corporate and cultural district and adjacent to the Performing Arts Center, the 238-room Avenue of the Arts Hotel offers a prime lakeside setting and easy access to the region’s attractions. The hotel’s location places guests near theater, galleries and corporate offices, making it a convenient choice for both leisure travelers and business visitors.
The hotel’s design draws inspiration from Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles, creating an elegant yet contemporary atmosphere. Guests can enjoy a variety of on-site amenities that take advantage of Southern California’s mild climate, including an outdoor pool surrounded by private cabanas—ideal for relaxation and socializing. Dining is centered on a restaurant that emphasizes seasonally driven menus, highlighting fresh, locally sourced ingredients and offering a dining experience that complements the hotel’s refined design aesthetic. A fully equipped fitness center is available for guests seeking to maintain their workout routines while traveling.
For meetings and events, the Avenue of the Arts Hotel provides flexible options with seven function rooms that can be configured to suit a range of group sizes and needs. These spaces are appropriate for corporate meetings, cultural gatherings and private functions, supported by the hotel’s event services and catering capabilities.
The addition of this Costa Mesa property extends Tribute Portfolio’s presence in California and contributes to Starwood’s broader strategy of curating a diverse collection of independent-feeling hotels within a global brand framework. By combining distinctive design, thoughtful amenities and a location tied to the region’s cultural life, the Avenue of the Arts Hotel aims to deliver an authentic local experience for visitors.
Tribute Portfolio’s expansion plan includes additional properties slated for development or conversion in several U.S. markets, underscoring the brand’s ambition to bring unique, upscale hotels to a variety of destinations. Future locations announced for the Tribute Portfolio collection include Palm Springs, California; Coral Gables, Florida; Asheville, North Carolina; and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, each expected to reflect its community’s character while maintaining the service standards and amenities guests expect from an upper-upscale property.
