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.

This is our second summer staying here and it definitely won’t be the last. Everything is FAB. From the yummy food at the restaurant (get the bao bunzz) To the AMAZING service. We immediately recognized Jessica from last Summer at check in, everything about her is so welcoming from her amazing attitude to the attention to detail she has. We mentioned it was my baby girls birthday and she sent over the most DELICIOUS cookies and brownies. Throughout the stay we continued to see her and she always greeted us with a smile. There is seriously a difference when she is not around. Everyone was great too, can’t say a bad thing about the fabulous staff. Thank you ShoreBreak for always giving us an amazing Summer.

WOW! Amazing! Incredible! Location, location, location! Spotless! Incredibly friendly & helpful staff! Amenities galore! Did you say s’mores by the fire every night!?!? Need I say more??? Borrow a cooler from your room, throw it in a Shorebreak wagon with some chairs, umbrella, and a volleyball, then hop, skip, or jump right on over to the beach. You literally only have to bring yourself to this hotel, maybe some undies, they take care of the rest!!! Within walking distance to restaurants and shopping. An easy drive or Uber to tide pool & cave exploring, whale watching, or theme parking. Speaking of parking…the literal only con is the $40-45 a day self park garage or valet. Book the trip! Danny, Spencer, Anna, Adan, or Omar will bend over backwards to make sure to spoil any other hotel for you!!

My recent stay at Kimpton Shorebreak was amazing! ! The room was spotless, and the bed was so comfortable. The staff were exceptionally friendly and indeed so helpful, especially Spenser! He went above and beyond! The location was also ideal, making it easy to experience the beach and city bith together in one place ! I highly recommend this hotel and looking to definitely stay there again

Well located. We appreciated the laid-back Californian vibe with the bikes and beach stuff. However, the room was a big disappointment. We paid extra for an ocean front view, but found ourselves with a view of the restaurant opposite and just a side view of the ocean. Looking back, we should have said something, but we'd already been waiting for our room for several hours and we were tired so we let it slide. There was a big surfing competition going on, so maybe we got bumped down, I don't know. Also, we'd taken the "stay longer and have breakfast" option, but the person at check-in did not explain how it worked, so there was a bit of an awkward moment on our first morning, when we got an $80 bill for breakfast in the hotel restaurant.
