The Huntley far exceeded our expectations, both service and the room were excellent. We have recommended this hotel to both business and friends who also had great experiences. The upstairs Penthouse restaurant is a must do for sunset before heading out on the town. Our room had a beautiful view and the front desk were happy to accommodate us with... More

We had a very friendly welcome when we drove into the garage next to the hotel. We were helped up to our room with our luggage and offered any advice we needed on the hotel and where to go in Santa Monica. Our ice bucket was even filled for us. The room had two double beds, a safe, fridge, iron... More

The rooms are fine (mine was 'compact' but adeqaute), the Penthouse Bar is great fun (but you don't need to be a resident to experience that). There's a nice little smokers terrace opposite the Reception. Prices are high, reception is more like NYC that LA (rush rush rush). Location is brilliant (one block from everything). But... I prefer the Oceana,... More

I just came back from 6 nights stay. I was there for work in LA and from the moment I walked up to the front desk I had Kaiya greeting me with "you must be (my name)!" What a way to start my stay! This was my second visit in just over a year and it was as bright as... More

While the rooms are perfectly okay, and the staff friendly, the hotel leaves alot to be desired. To be in sunny California and not be able to sit outside and relax is a big disappointment. The only seating areas other than the trendy lobby(which is dark!) is by the car park, or one bench outside the front door. There is... More

We had the chance to stay at the Huntley in Santa Monica for the last 6 nights. Being a luxury hotelier my self and travel frequently the world to top class hotels I am very critical to hotel service. The Arrival at the Huntely was very professional and warm. What concerned me slightly though was the hard ware of the... More

Stayed two nights. Staff couldn't have been more helpful. Best hotel beds and pillows! Had booked on internet and room backed onto the lifts, so constant 'whoosh' , but the air-conditioning cancelled this out. Such a wonderful view of Santa Monica Beach from our 14th floor room so that when we visited the Penthouse we didn't stay. But, if you... More

My husband and I stayed here and were wowed by the exterior and lobby on arrival. However, our room was a bit disappointing. It was big, but seemed half empty and could have done with a table/chairs to fill in the wasted space. It was an expensive place to stay and I wouldn't go back. The location is good if... More

Awesome room, very comfortable bed and bedding, great shower, and very swanky. Awesome Santa Monica location too. The downside is that it tends to attract the do*chebag set, the same way that W Hotels do. There was a do*chebag convention in the lobby at night on Friday, and the Penthouse turns into the same. However, I got breakfast at the... More
