Undoubtedly hip, the Kimpton Shorebreak Huntington Beach perfectly captures the sun-drenched spirit of California, complete with surf-inspired décor that complements this enviable beachfront location. Although relaxed, service is of the highest standard, and guest rooms boast plenty of home-from-home amenities (including your own record player!) as well as a balcony from which to admire ocean or city views. The Pacific Hideaway Restaurant and Bar may offer a casual vibe, but it’s serious on food! Very popular with locals and guests alike, authentic coastal cuisine will delight, as will handcrafted cocktails sure to get you in that Californian mood. The ‘living room’ lounge is a great place to relax awhile before dinner, swapping tales of the day’s beach adventures. Alternatively, as the sun sets, head to the Deck, a private courtyard for guests use only with multiple fire pits to keep you snug! There's activities galore, with Sunday yoga classes, a range of beach amenities on-hand, and a daily social hour, and guests can also head to the state-of-the-art fitness centre, open 24-hours.

Such a cute boutique hotel, with thoughtful perks like a daily happy hour offering complimentary wine and beer, plus free access to bikes and beach gear. Special shoutout to Daniel A. at the front desk—loved his energy. He was very accommodating, always smiling, and very helpful. Highly recommend!

I travel a lot and frequently stay at IHG properties. Daniel is one of the best front desk people I have had the pleasure to meet. In addition to a can do attitude he is personable and professional and an asset to your property.
In addition, Danny is also a great employee
I'm definitely going back to stay here!

This establishment has exceeded my expectations in every way. They have meticulously considered every detail, and they are always prepared to meet any need that may arise. They offer a wide range of amenities, including beach cruisers, beach chairs, and scooters.
They are also very dog-friendly, providing treats at the front desk. In the mornings, they offer coffee, tea, and hot chocolate, while in the evenings, they serve beer and wine. The pop-up outdoor bar, designed in the style of an 80s ski lodge, adds to the fun atmosphere.
The on-site restaurant serves delicious breakfasts that reflect the Southern California culinary style. The rooms are exceptionally clean, and the beds are comfortable. The customer service is truly outstanding, with every staff member being friendly and accommodating.

Thoroughly enjoyed. Jessica checked us in and checked us out. She was so pleasant through both transactions. We hope next time we come we see her again. The hotel was clean. Everyone was friendly. We have not one complaint and we will be back.
