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.

The “Beach meets Tahoe” vibe creates a laid back, friendly atmosphere. Especially during social hour where everyone comes together, shares free drinks and delicious appetizers. The rooms are clean and spacious. Bed and pillows are super comfy and I have to mention the chair in the room is too!The record player adds a nostalgic touch, and the room is decorated with thoughtful details, including a mini cooler as an ice bucket. The staff, especially Carly and Bradley, are warm, approachable, informative and go the extra mile to make us feel welcome. Thank you so much!

Kimpton Shorebreak Huntington Beach absolutely nailed it. Jackson and Carly are next-level hosts. From a seamless arrival to a room with a view (check), this stay stacked the wins fast. Food and beverage went well beyond expectations (big check), and that Kimpton wine hour? Elevated. Local wine, beer on tap, Jarritos for the kids, plus games that actually keep them entertained. Thoughtful, fun, and genuinely welcoming. When you stay with IHG, the perks add up, and this stay culminated in a near-perfect experience. Say less. Let’s rebook. We’ll be back soon.

So glad we decided to celebrate the holiday at Kimpton Shorebreak The ski lodge theme was fun suprise. This resort exceeded our expectations! Great location, clean rooms, SUPER FRIENDLY staff, awesome gym. The food at the Hideway was terrific! The atmosphere is friendly.. family oriented and with lots of 4paw friends we enjoyed seeing too! The room was spacious! The bed was super comfy and housekeeping staff provided everything we needed besides keeping it super clean. I can go on and on.. Thomas and all of the other valets were on top things and although we weren’t happy about having to pay $45 a day …they made it worth it. Carly, Ana and the young man with glass and funky winter head band were just a few of the friendly, helpful staff members who help us with anything we needed. Thank you! Lastly .. my husband LOVED having hot cocoa with marshmallows and candy canes every morning and s’mores for over the fire pit ever night… such a great treat! We got an Expedia Black Friday deal so that was helpful. We definitely will be back
