Book the Huntley Santa Monica Beach with VIP Benefits

Huntley Santa Monica Beach is a coastal city hotel at 1111 Second Street, close to the Pacific shoreline, Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica dining, and the wider Westside of Los Angeles. Its appeal comes from height, light, and a sense of easy movement: guests can wake above the city, walk toward the beach, return for rooftop dining, and still feel connected to Malibu, Venice, and Los Angeles beyond the coast.

Second Street & Santa Monica Rhythm

The hotel sits in a residential pocket of Santa Monica, close enough to the ocean for beach time but set back from the busiest edge of the promenade. That position gives the stay a calmer base.

Santa Monica works best when the day has room to breathe. Guests can begin with coffee, walk toward Palisades Park, browse Third Street Promenade, visit the Farmers Market, or drift toward the pier without treating every outing as a transfer.

The address also keeps the wider Westside within reach. Malibu lies up the coast, Venice sits to the south, and Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and central Los Angeles can be reached when the schedule calls for it.

That balance matters. A stay here can feel beach-led in the morning, city-led by afternoon, and dining-led at night. The hotel supports that shift without asking guests to choose one version of Los Angeles.

Rooms, Suites & Ocean Light

Huntley Santa Monica Beach offers 204 rooms and suites. The hotel highlights natural light, broad views, and rooms that frame the Pacific Ocean, Malibu Mountains, and Santa Monica cityscape.

The design language is crisp, bright, and modern. It avoids heavy beach themes. Instead, the rooms use clean surfaces, soft tones, smart controls, touch lighting, and refined bath products to create a calm place above the coast.

Views are central to the stay. Some rooms look toward the ocean, some toward the city, and some toward the mountains. On a clear day, the height of the building gives Santa Monica a sharper sense of place.

Suites add more space for guests who want a longer stay, a sitting area, or a more residential pace. They work well for couples who want extra room and for travellers using Santa Monica as a base for several days.

The rooms are strongest when guests use them as a reset point. After the beach, a gallery visit, or dinner across town, the quiet height of the hotel gives the day a softer landing.

The Penthouse & Rooftop Dining

The Penthouse is the hotel's signature restaurant and lounge. Set on the rooftop, it brings panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Santa Monica coastline, Malibu Mountains, and Los Angeles skyline into the centre of the experience.

The restaurant serves coastal-inspired cooking, cocktails, and wine in a room that feels made for sunset. It is popular with hotel guests and local diners, so reservations are sensible for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and special occasions.

The setting is the reason people remember it. At the right hour, the room can move from bright ocean light to evening city glow. That shift gives dinner or drinks a clear sense of occasion.

The Penthouse also works for private and semi-private events. Birthdays, anniversaries, and group dinners gain an obvious backdrop, without needing a separate venue away from the hotel.

Because the restaurant is on property, guests can keep the night simple. A sunset cocktail, dinner, and the elevator back to the room can be enough.

Gene's Cafe & In-Room Dining

Gene's Cafe sits on the lobby level and serves coffee, espresso drinks, and light bites. It gives the hotel a casual morning stop before the beach, a meeting, or a drive toward Malibu.

This kind of simple outlet matters in Santa Monica. Guests may want a full rooftop breakfast one day and a quick coffee the next. Gene's Cafe keeps that choice easy.

The hotel also offers in-room dining for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Listed hours run from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM for breakfast, 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM for lunch, and 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM for dinner.

In-room dining is useful after late arrivals, long beach days, or evenings when the room view feels better than another reservation. It also helps families and business travellers keep a flexible schedule.

Wellness, Movement & Coastal Days

The hotel presents wellness as part of the Santa Monica lifestyle rather than as a separate spa ritual. Its own material points to treatments, workouts, beach paths, wellness studios, and the natural pull of the Pacific.

That approach fits the neighbourhood. A strong day might include a workout, a walk along the bluffs, time near the sand, a light lunch, and a massage or treatment before dinner.

Santa Monica is active without being severe. Guests can run, cycle, take a beach walk, book a studio class, or simply sit outdoors and let the ocean air do part of the work.

The hotel gives that rhythm a polished home base. It is not trying to be a full resort. It works because the city, beach, dining, and wellness scene are all close enough to shape the stay.

Beach, Malibu & Venice

The Pacific shoreline is the natural first draw. Guests can walk toward the beach, watch the light over the water, or use the coast as a daily reference point even when the plan is mostly urban.

Malibu adds a second layer. A drive north can bring surf breaks, canyon roads, seafood lunches, and wide coastal views. Huntley Santa Monica Beach lets guests reach that world without staying far from Santa Monica itself.

Venice adds a different note. Canals, galleries, shops, beach culture, and creative street life sit a short drive south. It is a useful contrast to Santa Monica's cleaner, more ordered rhythm.

These nearby areas help the hotel serve several travel styles. One guest may want beach mornings and rooftop dinners. Another may use the address for Westside meetings, shopping, and a single coastal walk at sunset.

Events, Meetings & Social Plans

Huntley Santa Monica Beach includes meetings and events in its core offer. The rooftop restaurant, coastal setting, and Santa Monica address give planners a strong visual identity without needing a convention-hotel mood.

The hotel suits smaller meetings, social events, private dining, wedding-related gatherings, and group stays that want a beach-adjacent address. Guests can meet, dine, and sleep in one place.

For social events, The Penthouse is the clear draw. Its height and views bring energy to a dinner or celebration. For business groups, the address keeps the Westside accessible.

The strongest events here are those that use the setting rather than ignore it. Ocean light, rooftop meals, easy walks, and a sense of Santa Monica should be part of the plan.

Who Should Stay Here

Huntley Santa Monica Beach suits travellers who want Santa Monica close to the ocean, with 204 rooms and suites, rooftop dining at The Penthouse, Gene's Cafe, in-room dining, wellness access, and a calm base near shops, restaurants, and the beach.

It is a strong fit for couples, design-minded travellers, Westside business stays, rooftop-dining weekends, and guests who want Los Angeles with more air around it. Choose it for the views, the Second Street address, and the way it lets beach time, city plans, and evening dining share the same stay.
