The Huntley Santa Monica Beach offers a pleasant and comfortable stay with an unbeatable location. The hotel’s proximity to the beach and Third Street Promenade is a major highlight, making it convenient for exploring the area. Rooms are clean and stylish, though some feel slightly dated considering the price point. Service is generally friendly, but not consistently exceptional. The on-site restaurant provides great views and decent food, though it can be a bit pricey. Overall, the Huntley delivers a solid, moderately good experience—perfect for travelers who value location and atmosphere, but it may not fully impress those seeking luxury-level details.

Their penthouse restaurant has great ambience, we enjoyed the cocktails there . Our room was really comfortable and beautifully appointed. Great safe location. We basically walked to the beach. But the best part is their staff. We had an amazing experience checking in, during the stay and checking out. Particularly at checkout. The person we dealt with was amazingly considerate. This is going to be our go-to spot for Santa Monica.

This hotel is such a find! Rooms are beautiful and the location is amazing - being two blocks to Santa Monica beach, a block to The Promenade and Elephante Restaurant (a must) is two blocks away. More than anything, though, is the service. Akemi went way out of her way to make everything perfect.

The Huntley in Santa Monica was a top tier choice for our weekend stay. We didn't want to leave! A few highlights with Happy Hour apps and drinks at The Penthouse with a beautiful sunset view, to the accommodations and amenities in the room, the exception service from the team, the incredibly convenient location, the quick valet, the selection in Gene's... everything. I wanted to highlight the team members that made our stay exceptional - with front desk: Osvaldo and Lavonte, with valet: Carlos, Franklin, and Phillip, with The Penthouse: Juan and Kam, and management: Jacob D - the entire housekeeping team did a fabulous job of maintaining the property and our room tidying. We will absolutely be back to stay!
