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.

We’ve been coming to the Kimpton Shorebreak every 4th of July for years, and let me just say—it’s hands down the best place to be! From epic 4th of July festivities to beach fun, surfing competitions, onsite happy hours, and nightly s’mores by the fire pits, this hotel nails the laid-back California vibe with luxury touches. We love bringing our dog, and they’re treated like VIPs—Lambeau loved it here and we can't wait to bring McConaughey! 🐶 This trip, I’m here on business and the experience is just as amazing. The beachy atmosphere keeps me motivated during the day and helps me unwind after meetings. It’s also a perfect place to host clients—they’re always impressed by the vibrant setting, fabulous food and drinks, and the live music on Thursdays. And let’s be real—who doesn’t love ending a meeting with a good s’more? 🔥 Huge shoutout to Danny, who always greets me with a big smile and is just a text away whenever I need anything. That kind of personal touch keeps me coming back. 🫶 Whether you’re here to work or play, an ocean view never hurt anyone—and at Shorebreak, it just might be the secret to doing both better. 🌊

We visited Huntington Beach for a weekend family getaway and decided to stay at Kimpton Shorebreak Resort and was greeted by Danny and Adam, I can say their hospitality is unmatched from the moment we checked in they were incredibly welcoming and made us feel at home. Not to mention the hotel is amazing with its endless amenities and incredible location I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Huntington Beach.

The service was excellent at The Shorebreak and it made all the difference. There is a relaxed vibe about this property. I received an upgrade while using a reward night which was nice and the staff noted and reacted to my requests. The use of the bikes and beach chairs was nice and makes the facility fee acceptable. The social hour is always a nice touch with Kimpton and the courtyard at this hotel adds to the relaxed atmosphere. We even enjoyed the smores in the evening. I would not recommend the oceanfront rooms at The Shorebreak. While you may gain some space in the room itself, the constant traffic on PCH is too much for me. The ocean is too far away to justify the noise. The hotel is right across from the pier so it is a great location. The exchange is the proximity to PCH. Overall, a great stay and the staff worked hard to provide a memorable experience!

Absolutely phenomenal location, clean facilities, and the staff is even better. Vanessa took care of us at the front desk and made our entire experience exceptional with her warm hospitality and attention to detail. The resort is just a short walk to the Huntington Beach Pier and surrounded by vibrant shops and restaurants. The amenities are top tier—from the well-equipped fitness center and inviting courtyard to the complimentary bikes and beach gear. The nightly s’mores by the fire pits are a thoughtful touch, especially for families. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel welcome. 10/10 recommend and we will definitely return.
