Southern California is remarkable for many reasons, but perhaps the most notable of its many wonderful attributes is a beach culture unlike any other in the world. For a true taste of sun-kissed splendor, head to Kimpton Shorebreak Hotel in world-famous Huntington Beach, California. Hailed as the original "Surf City USA," this vibrant Orange County town promises its visitors a unique Pacific Coast experience. Downtown luxury meets a relaxed beachfront vibe at the boutique-style Kimpton Shorebreak Hotel, just steps away from Main Street. The hotel is set back just enough from the action to keep a more chill, quiet demeanor. But if you want to get out there for food, drinks, shopping and festivity, these are a few awesome things you'll find right outside our front door.

Booked through a third party, when we arrived we had a king bedroom and needed 2 queens. Jordan at the front desk took care of us and made the switch into an upgraded room simple and easy. Making a stressful travel day turn into an inviting no hassle check in. Thank you Jordan.

Ms. Anna Beachner supremely deserves to be recognized for her outstanding customer service, superb communication skills and overall top-notch service during my recent visit to your beautiful property, Kimpton Shorebreak Resort in Huntington Beach. She went well above and beyond to ensure that we were shown the right amount of attention, loyalty recognition, and most importantly how Ms. Anna ensured that my wife's birthday was recognized as well. She provided numerous opportunities to the amenities at your resort, kept us up-to-date with the room key issues, and further went above and beyond by her personal actions to ensure that my wife's needs were met.

We just got home. We travel worldwide and as always this hotel is our favorite anywhere. The location is great right across the street from the beach and pier. The hotel has a great vibe and open air floor plan. So many little touches like coolers in room to take to the beach. Every thing from boogie boards to bikes available for the asking. The best part is the staff. Hotel Manager Jackie has done a great job. The following are just some of the wonderful people that make this a home away from home. Front desk --- Spencer. Ana, Anna (yes lol),Mikel,Jackson,Frederick,Jessica, and our Bell person Jordon In the restaurant-- Victor,Destiny,Dean,Ricky,Francisco,Kloey, and chef Paul who took care of special dietary needs

It is so lovely to be back at my favorite Kimpton property in the United States! This boutique hotel makes you feel right at home, and the staff is like a family. Right across from the beach, near the pier, and tucked away just enough to feel cozy. Everyone was awesome, as always, but a special shout out to Jessica at the front desk. Congrats Shorebreak Huntingon on winning best Kimpton property! Much deserved.

My husband and I were stuck in LA for a few extra days due to flight cancellations. We decided to stay at the Kimpton, and after seeing the property, didn’t want to leave! The hotel had a really unique vibe with great amenities including infused water, coffee/tea in the morning, and a beautiful courtyard. The king suite was a great set-up for working, and the location across from the pier/beach was perfect. Bradley at reception made us feel welcome and well cared for. Highly recommend!
