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.

Completely enjoyed my time at this wonderful hotel, right on the beach. I had a spectacular ocean view, the room was large, with a fantastic bathroom. And of course, you won't find a more dog-friendly hotel. No extra charge for pets, they have dog treats at the desk. Had breakfast on the patio every morning, which includes a wonderful dog menu!… Read more
Completely enjoyed my time at this wonderful hotel, right on the beach. I had a spectacular ocean view, the room was large, with a fantastic bathroom. And of course, you won't find a more dog-friendly hotel. No extra charge for pets, they have dog treats at the desk. Had breakfast on the patio every morning, which includes a wonderful dog menu! My yellow lab was a big hit with the staff ...and she loved every minute. They all treated her like royalty. There's a great dog bath across the street (great if you go to the nearby dog beach). Only one request: please serve premium coffee!!! In California, there's no excuse for brown-water-coffee, but fear not, Starbucks is a block away. There's a huge, self-park garage with easy access to the hotel lobby. You can't get a better location. Close to everything. Read less

We went here for our anniversary and it was absolutely fantastic! Everyone was extremely helpful and kind, especially Alondra and Omar. We enjoyed the social hour, the s'mores, and the coffee in the morning! The room was extremely comfortable as well. We will definitely return here.

From the first interaction to the last the staff were so kind and helpful in all our communication. They held our bags arriving earlier in the day until we could check in.
