Huntley Santa Monica Beach Dining

The Penthouse – The Penthouse is the heartbeat of Huntley Santa Monica Beach. Open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, this 18th-floor space blends five-star sophistication with a relaxed beach ambiance — choose formal table service or take in the panoramic views from a private curtained cabana. From short rib hash to gourmet sandwiches and salads, fish tacos, and elegant options such as Hokkaido scallops and 45-day dry-aged steak with bone marrow, the menu is always full of delicious options. In the evening, cocktails by Ryan Magarian sharpen your appetite for Alex Manos' contemporary California cuisine; after dark, The Penthouse transforms into one of Santa Monica’s most exclusive nightspots.

Activities at Huntley Santa Monica Beach

Huntley Santa Monica Beach Activities

Relax or work out in the fitness center before catching up on work in the state-of-the-art business center. In the evening, head up to the 18th floor to have a delicious dinner or a handcrafted cocktail delivered to your cabana as the sun sets over the ocean.

Santa Monica State Beach is just two blocks away, so go surfing with the locals, try your hand at beach chess, or ride the Ferris wheel at the famous Santa Monica Pier. Cultural attractions include Bergamot Station Arts Center — an architectural landmark in its own right — and the former homes of star architect Frank Gehry and modernist designers Charles and Ray Eames. For a more relaxed day out, pick up organic fruit, try freshly shucked oysters, or dance to live music with the locals at the Wednesday and Sunday farmers’ markets on Arizona Avenue. Further afield Malibu, Hollywood, and Beverly Hills are all within a 30-minute drive, and the Huntley Santa Monica Beach concierge team will be happy to arrange local taxis or vehicle hire.

Location

Huntley Santa Monica Beach has a prime location just two blocks from Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, California, where you can dip in and out of mainstream and quirky shops, cafes, and restaurants, plus be just a few steps from one of the prettiest golden-sand beaches in Los Angeles. It’s just a 15-minute drive to Venice or Malibu beaches, so ask the concierge about transportation options.

It was OK

Sun Jan 12 2025 08:18:34 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by tabithazoo

Its not a BAD hotel, its fine for a night or two, but given the cost, its extortionate for what you get. Of all the hotels we stayed in on our road trip through California, this was our least favourite. The room was pretty enough but really quite small and shower wasn't great - it was OK but not GREAT. The hairdryer in the room looked ancient and was kind of peeling. Bed was comfy though. Breakfast was OK, but we didn't get a window seat and the table rocked and wobbled. The waitress said she would bring something to correct it but she didn't. Oh well. I just felt that it was all about the aesthetic and not about actually being comfy.

Perfect Location in Santa Monica

Sat Jan 11 2025 14:08:50 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by eso1989

We enjoyed this hotel which was part of a Rose Bowl Parade package we chose via a sepearate tour operator. The hotel is perfectly located away from the hustle and bustle of Santa Monica yet close to everything -- easy walk to the beach, the pier and many great dining options. The Penthouse bar/restaurant has an exceptional view of the Santa Monica mountains and surrounding area and a very nice vibe. Our room was clean and modern .... plus a very comfortable mattress. We would stay here again.
