ABOUT THE LOCATION: The Balboa Inn is a historic Spanish Colonial Revival landmark in Newport Beach, California, built in 1929 and known for its glamour and clientele, including Hollywood stars like Johnny Weissmueller, Humphrey Bogart, Errol Flynn, Howard Hughes, musician including Glenn Miller, Stan Kenton and politicians like Barry Goldwater. Once a notorious hub for rum-runners during Prohibition, the Inn was purchased and restored in the 1980s by a partnership including NBA star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was a former owner. The Inn remains a popular resort, blending its historical character with modern amenities and a prime location on the Newport Beach boardwalk.

We can't wait to see you there!
