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 ads said hotel was on the beach and it's not. There are no rooms with full beach view as advertised either. Relaxation, spa area closed not mentioned when booking. Rooftop restaurant, room service, and parking outrageously expensive. (2 mediocre sandwiches and fries, no drinks for $85!). The nice couple who checked in next to us were provided a room upgrade and free breakfasts at no extra charge, but we received zero special treatment. In fact, we seemed quite invisible to the staff. The rooms are lovely, and it's in a safe part of town which can be difficult to accomplish. Although we were verbally attacked by a homeless person just outside the hotel, no harm done really, but it was scary to us out of towners and we tried to not let that set the tone for our day. They have some key perks but the perks they do have are not worth the money. It's a quite lovely hotel but we won't be back.

I cannnot get enough of this hotel. I adore it. Other than the comfy beds, great clean spacious rooms, the staff is what stands out. Blake the manager remembered me tonight at check out and went above and beyond, made such an impact on my experience and made it 100x better. Not to mention, every single time, Edwin always remembers me and Gracie is just awesome. The staff? Unparalleled care. The rooms are nice and clean. The bathroom immaculate. The food is good. I won’t stay anywhere else in LA. Every time me or my friend stay here, we text each other and instantly we both get jealous. lol I love the Huntley, the views— but the people? Yeah. Chef’s kiss.

Booked on a whim and definitely glad I did! The rooms are clean and cozy, with lovely views. Crisp bedding and bathrooms stocked with bathrobes and slippers. The location is great—plenty of restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance, and you can stroll to the beach. Onsite valet is a bit pricey, but parking in the area isn’t cheap anyway. The rooftop restaurant also did not disappoint - everything was top notch!

My husband and I were in LA from NY for a wedding, and we decided to make it a mini-vacation and stay in Santa Monica. I am extremely fussy when it comes to where to stay. After spending hours looking at hotels, reading about them and the area on reddit/tripadvisor/expedia, etc.... I finally took the plunge and booked the Huntley. We were not disappointed. My husband, who rarely travels and doesn't really notice where we're staying, was pleasantly surprised and impressed. From the valet, to check in, to the rooftop lounge, every staff interaction was extremely pleasant, professional. A quality experience. Our room was amazing! We had a king suite on the 7th floor. It was immaculate and well laid out. Lighting was plentiful and easily adjustable. There were enough outlets and usba and usbc plugs for charging on both end tables. Well stocked Nespresso, bar and fridge. The only thing I wish, was that there was a separate fridge for us to use for any leftovers we came home with or waters. Best of all? It was so quiet. We could barely hear anything from the hallway and nothing from rooms next door, up or downstairs. And the area around the hotel was a perfect location for walking to the beach, the pier, promenade and local restaurants. We could get most anywhere on foot in 15-20 min. And Waymo's were plentiful if we had wanted to catch a ride. We hated to leave this paradise. Thank you, Huntley staff, for making our couples retreat so enjoyable.

We’d liked everything about our stay here. After a long 15hr flight, the beds were amazing. So comfortable & with fab pillows. Location was also good. Unfortunately though, we left a brand new portable charger plugged in, in the bathroom when we checked out. We realised this within a couple of hours & immediately contacted the hotel. The charger is black & orange, it can’t be missed yet it’s never been handed in or returned. This was disappointing as taints a trip knowing it had been taken. There are also no safes in the rooms, so we carried all our personal items & passports with us which isn’t really ideal. But glad we didn’t leave these in the room as they may have ended up where our charger now is.

My father came to visit and stayed at Huntley for two weeks, it was an incredible experience. The staff is very attentive and friendly, in particular Randy, he was always helpful with a smile, suggesting activities and restaurant for us. I would totally recommend anyone staying here, the restaurant at the top bar is exquisite, they do jazz live nights. The area is walking distance to everything but in a quiet area. 10/10

Beautiful hotel. Elegance of a high end hotel with personal touch of a boutique. Fresh flowers, nice decorations in lobby. Rooms are specious and well appointed. Great staff - thanks Blake and team for the wonderful hospitality. Also a scenic rooftop restaurant.
