DISCOVER LUXURIOUS NEWLY REMODELED GUEST ROOMS,
AND MODERN AMENITIES IN THE HEART OF ORANGE COUNTY
As Orange County’s oldest landmark hotel, The Atrium Hotel at the Orange County Airport was the first hotel to open its doors in May 1970 as the Airporter Inn.
Originally owned by the Duffy Family, the hotel sits on 6.5 acres of MacArthur Boulevard. Founder Richard E. Duffy began construction in 1968 on what was the original site of the Airporter Inn owned by the Irvine Company. The Irvine Company also owned the entire undeveloped parcel around the hotel before the area was incorporated into the city of Irvine in 1971.
Throughout the 1970s the hotel was a popular site for television press conferences attended by both local and national government officials. Former Senator John Tunney, former Governor Jerry Brown, former President Ronald Reagan, and White House aides for the late president Richard Nixon were just some of the attendants.
Then what was known as the Orange County Airport, was making headlines of its own. The Orange County Airport (now John Wayne Airport) was a popular site for stunt pilots to film movies. It was also a place to meet various celebrity aviation pioneers, including legendary Howard Hughes and Eddie Martin of Martin Aviation. Martin built the first landing strip at the Airport after World War I, which eventually paved the way for the successful commercial airline/aviation business.
In 1992, Golden Hotels Limited Partnership purchased the hotel from the Duffy Family. A $4.5 million renovation took place from 1992 – 1998. Focal points of the renovation include a dramatic waterfall, with fountains and a two-story atrium lobby, and a pyramidal skylight.
The Atrium Hotel underwent its most recent renovation in 2020 and 2021, with an emphasis on highlighting some of its unique & charming characteristics while showcasing local artists in our community.
