The Huntley Hotel Santa Monica 


Surrounded by vibrant city and ocean views, the Huntley Hotel is a Santa Monica icon. The luxury hotel seamlessly blends breezy Southern California surroundings with modern decor and a decidedly playful style that works.

All this, plus easy access to Santa Monica's acclaimed beaches, the Santa Monica Pier, and the Third Street Promenade. 

The white lacquer piranhas dotting one wall of the lobby nicely demonstrates the Huntley's playful side for me.

It's definitely not the scenic glass elevator that soars up 18 floors on the building's exterior. At least for me. I have this little fear of heights.

The Huntley Hotel is uniquely designed - from the outside in.The Huntley Hotel is uniquely designed - from the outside in.

I only get on that elevator when I absolutely have to - and then I close my eyes. (Everyone else says this elevator has one of the best views of Santa Monica around.)

The Huntley Hotel was built in 1964, and extensively renovated in 2008. While much of its 1960s-era exterior remains intact, the interior spaces were definitely, nicely retooled.

The Huntley's common areas are open, airy, and very of-the-moment, yet with with touches of 1970s flashbacks (thick shag carpets, low tables carved from wood) that scream "fun".

Hotel Rooms and Suites Overlooking the Pacific Ocean

The Huntley Hotel's 204 luxurious guest rooms, along with 12 suites and a Presidential suite, overlook the ocean. 

You're Invited to the Penthouse

The Penthouse on the Huntley's 18th floor, offers panoramic views and top shelf drinks and eats.

On the Huntley's 18th floor, designer Thomas Schoos teamed up with executive chef Alex Manos to create a dramatic rooftop dining experience at The Penthouse restaurant and lounge.

Panoramic ocean views, beach cabanas, open skies and signature craft cocktails along with California contemporary cuisine, create a one-of-a-kind dining experience.

For all these reasons and more - like the fact that the Penthouse is almost always home to a lively crow - it is a favorite place among locals as well as visitors.
