Pacific Symphony this week announced that Avenue of the Arts Costa Mesa, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, is now the orchestra’s “Official Hotel Partner” through December 2024. Conveniently located directly across the street from the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall where Pacific Symphony performs, the 238-room property is poised in the hub of Orange County’s Corporate and Cultural Center and the Performing Arts District, as well as steps away from South Coast Plaza, the renowned luxury shopping destination.
