Review: Kimpton Shorebreak Hotel in Surf City, USA
The Kimpton Shorebreak Hotel, located in Huntington Beach on the Pacific Coast Highway, is perfect for exploring the surrounding area shops, restaurants, beach and the pier. The surfer-stylish, upscale boutique hotel has a laid-back vibe with great amenities and a prime location across from the beach - you can't stay any closer to famous Huntington Beach than here!
What You Need to Know:
Location:
The Kimpton Shorebreak is located on the Pacific Coast Highway, just across from the beach and the Huntington Beach Pier.
The area surrounding the hotel is really pedestrian-friendly, close to restaurants, shopping and the beach. The International Surfing Museum and the Huntington Beach Art Center are both within a mile of the hotel as well.
Hotel Amenities:
The main lobby is located on the second level of the building - you'll need to take the stairs or elevator from the ground floor surfboard storage area.
On this main level, featuring a relaxed coastal vibe, you'll find an open-air patio with firepits, restaurant/bar, fitness center and games such as foosball and table tennis.
I'm a big fan of the brand and know what to expect when staying at a Kimpton - hip modern hotels that feature personal service, great hotel dining, and complimentary wine hour and coffee in the morning.
The hotel is perfect for exploring Huntington beach and the surrounding shops and restaurants. It is a great place to relax at and add a night or two before or after visiting Disneyland.
