The hotel

Retreat to this stylish hotel in a residential pocket of Santa Monica, yet just a shell's throw from the beach and Third Street Promenade. The Huntley is both classy and playful, with a modern urban design, and those little touches that make a difference — we all love a chocolate on the pillow at turndown. But perhaps the real wow factor at the hotel is The Penthouse restaurant and lounge, where both locals and guests come up to the rooftop to watch the sunset over the Ocean. With signature cocktails (and happy hour too), and bar food like cured meats and tacos, this one is definitely worth a visit.

The hotel was very clean and nice. The restaurant at the penthouse floor is classy. It has good food and great place to watch the sunset. The hotel has a great location to shopping, restaurants and the beach.

Excellent hotel. Rooms are meticulous. Service is top notch. Penthouse restaurant is superb with the best steak and seafood. View from the high floors are amazing. Very convenient valet parking.

The Huntley is nice hotel with a nice staff. We were there over a weekend which may be an unfortunate time to visit. Apparently you can not drink the water in Santa Monica but the house keeping really didn’t leave water bottles. We did call for extra bottles but no one showed up. I would think at every opportunity water bottles would be available… Read more
The Huntley is nice hotel with a nice staff. We were there over a weekend which may be an unfortunate time to visit. Apparently you can not drink the water in Santa Monica but the house keeping really didn’t leave water bottles. We did call for extra bottles but no one showed up. I would think at every opportunity water bottles would be available which they were not. The elevator situation is bad. There are only two elevators in the hotel. The rooftop bar/restaurant is very popular so you need to give yourself at least 5-10 minutes extra to get & from your room because of the wait for the elevator & the lines in the lobby to get on the elevator. Unfortunately, we will not be staying there again. Read less

Blake, in the front office, was so helpful with every request. In addition to Jake the hotel manager and all of the staff. They are all professional and willing to help in whatever way possible. Thanks again to you all.

Our company loves the Huntley hotel. It is where we reccomend all of our employees for business trips within the Santa Monica area. Not only is this hotel beautiful, the staff were always able to accommodate any business needs we had. From group room blocks, to breathtaking conference rooms and mouthwatering resturants. The staff has always gone above and beyond to ensure that we received impeccable customer service. A few names that defintely stands out are Mandy, Tyler, Maria and Diane. I am utterly grateful for all they have done for us and continue to do. If you are considering this hotel for business or leisure I reccomend it, you will not be disappointed! I would give 10 stars if I could :) Read less
