Huntley Hotel Santa Monica Beach

Thank you Huntley we had a beautiful stay. Everyone on reception was wonderfully welcoming and accommodating. We decided to upgrade to a suite and it was definitely worth it. Loved the cafe downstairs for a strawberry matcha and acai bowl. Didn’t get to try the restaurant, Penthouse but it looked beautiful. We were grateful for the complimentary lifts from the driver George and took advantage of the free bikes to explore the beach coastal bike path daily that is really close by. The hotel was beautifully decorated and very clean and modern. A great location and safe area. Would definitely stay again when in Santa Monica.

The Huntley in Santa Monica was a top tier choice for our weekend stay. We didn't want to leave! A few highlights with Happy Hour apps and drinks at The Penthouse with a beautiful sunset view, to the accommodations and amenities in the room, the exception service from the team, the incredibly convenient location, the quick valet, the selection in Gene's... everything. I wanted to highlight the team members that made our stay exceptional - with front desk: Osvaldo and Lavonte, with valet: Carlos, Franklin, and Phillip, with The Penthouse: Juan and Kam, and management: Jacob D - the entire housekeeping team did a fabulous job of maintaining the property and our room tidying. ||We will absolutely be back to stay!

This hotel delivered an exceptional corporate stay experience in all aspects. The cleanliness was impeccable, and the entire staff was truly outstanding. Special commendation goes to Mandy, Adrian, and their team, who consistently demonstrated high-level attentiveness and anticipated our needs. The food was fantastic. Our meeting space was bright and beautiful, featuring excellent natural light. We had a wonderful experience and look forward to returning soon.

I can't say enough good things bout my stay at The Huntley. All the staff were super friendly and went out of their way to be helpful and they were always present and accessible and I never had to wait for attention. The access to the chauffer in the sweet white escalade to take me to the pier and other nearby spots made me feel like a queen (be sure to tip!). Loved the happy hour and brunch at the rooftop restaurant. Loved the fitness center and the large hot tub I had all to myself even on Fri/Sat evening. Housekeeping service and free waters and coffee were great - as was the mini fridge I requested and received without hassle. The hotel was simply lovely and in a beautiful/safe/walkable neighborhood - super close to California Pizza Kitchen and all the hot spots on Oceanside. I had the panoramic king on the 14th floor and it was a very nice room with cool light switches and great view. Yes, the ocean view is from the bathroom, but it just made shower time more fun ;) And Nespresso machines are always so finicky with when you put pods in and exactly how they're placed so I lost a few in my attempts, but housekeeping was quick to brings me a whole bunch more. There was really nothing to complain about... probably one of the best places I've ever stayed - will definitely stay again and highly recommend!

Absolutely loved my quick one night stay and review of The Huntley. This is a family owned relaxed beach luxury with a great vibe. Great special touches, a glass elevator that released a spectacular sunset, stunning wallpaper throughout the property, rooms that are designed in a way for quiet rest, lovely beds and a rooftop restaurant with awesome food and drinks. A cute offering at Gene's with coffees and a yummy brekfast sandwich. Highly recommend!

This hotel is such a find! Rooms are beautiful and the location is amazing - being two blocks to Santa Monica beach, a block to The Promenade and Elephante Restaurant (a||must) is two blocks away. More than anything, though, is the service. Akemi went way out of her way to make everything perfect.

Look, The Huntley Hotel is absolutely stellar, and I resent having to admit that as much as I resent the price of valet parking in this town. You get up to The Penthouse bar and the view of the Pacific is so beautiful it almost makes you forget you’re standing five feet from someone who has two goldendoodles and a successful podcast about self-care. The whole place has that chic, minimalist vibe, which is great, although the towels were so luxurious they made my actual clothes feel like sandpaper when I put them back on. It was a genuinely great experience, which is annoying, because now I know what it feels like to live like a billionaire, and going back to my actual life is going to be incredibly disappointing. Five stars, unfortunately.

Parking is very expensive at the hotel ($68 a day) so I would park elsewhere. The hotel room is very clean and the bathroom seems to have been newly renovated in a pretty, white palette that makes the tiny space appear bigger. The penthouse restaurant seems pretty popular judging by the number of people going up there. Or maybe no one wanted to brave the rain to go outside. However, there is only one elevator running and it takes 10 minutes to wait for an elevator. The service elevator was also not running. I would have rated this hotel 4 stars because the service is pretty good, but deducted a star for the elevator situation.
