Hotels in Costa Mesa

Compare prices from multiple booking suppliers and find the best hotel deal in Costa Mesa.

Costa Mesa sits in the middle of Orange County, best known for two things: South Coast Plaza, one of the highest-grossing shopping malls in the country, and a genuinely good arts scene anchored by the Segerstrom Center for the Arts. It's a business and shopping destination more than a tourist one, with a steady flow of visitors flying into John Wayne Airport just a few minutes away rather than lingering for the city itself.

Be honest: there's no beach here despite the name, and little in the way of postcard sights — this is a place to stay for convenience and proximity, not scenery. Disneyland is a short drive north, making Costa Mesa a workable, less crowded alternative base for families who don't want to pay Anaheim's premium. With only seven hotels in our catalog, options are limited, so book early. Stay near South Coast Plaza if you want walkable shopping and dining, or close to the airport if you're just passing through.
