Kimpton Shorebreak Huntington Beach

Huntington Beach, California

Virgin rating

The hotel

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.

We stayed here for 5 days when moving to the area. We cannot speak higher of the staff, location, and amenities!

We stayed here for 5 days when moving to the area. We cannot speak higher of the staff, location, and amenities! The staff is so accommodating, they go out of their way to know you and make your stay special. Special shout out to Shaeye and Faith at the restaurant-they go above and beyond. And our valet guys were always so quick and really Friendly. Customer service is ingrained at this location if you’re looking for a place that still holds that dear. The daily coffee time, lemonade and tea bar, happy hours, and smores at night are just a few little extras that this place offers, and we didn’t even take advantage of the beach prep that they take off your plate! Thank you to all, we will be coming back! Read less

Victor is a fabulous waiter one that you should meet. Our breakfast experiences were awesome. We would recommend the smoked salmon and bagle it was really both presented and prepared well. We would recommend buying the breakfast with the room reservation. Thanks again Victor

This hotel has it all! Location is perfect. We used their complimentary bikes, beach chairs, and volleyball. Night time s'mores by the fire was fun for couples and families. Daniel at the front desk was an absolute delight and so helpful! Will stay here again!!
