Located just two blocks from the beach and five minutes from the famed Santa Monica pier, the Huntley is the choice for those looking for a beach getaway with design-conscious, boutique hotel style and amenities. The hotel is somewhat minimalist -- with no pool or spa -- but it gives off a true Southern California vibe with soft leathers and neutral woods, post-modern furnishings and Venetian walls.
The main draw for many visitors to this building is the stark white 18th floor restaurant and cocktail bar The Penthouse, which boasts stunning views of the ocean and downtown LA and a chic, celebrity clientele. The views are best at lunch, happy hour, or brunch, but the bar scene is the most happening at night. If that doesn’t play, it’s a short drive over to hot area newcomers Cafe Gratitude and Superba Snack Bar, a quick walk to cultishly loved sandwich spot Bay Cities Deli, and steps away from the popular shops, cafes, and restaurants on 3rd Street.

Absolutely gorgeous hotel. Rooms are spacious with fabulous decor. Location is central and close to the beach. The Penthouse restaurant (rooftop) is wall to wall windows and has a great vibe and great food. Took my wife there for her birthday and she loved it.
