Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants has expanded its Southern California footprint with the addition of the Shorebreak Hotel in Huntington Beach. This property marks Kimpton’s eighth hotel in Southern California and its first in Orange County, joining the brand’s portfolio of 64 hotels and more than 70 restaurants nationwide.
Set within The Strand, a mixed-use development steps from the Huntington Beach Pier, the Shorebreak Hotel features 157 guestrooms, waterfront views, a fitness center and over 3,900 square feet of meeting and event space. As part of the Kimpton family, the hotel now offers the brand’s signature amenities, including PUBLIC Bikes, in-room yoga mats, pet-friendly policies, hosted evening wine hours and complimentary coffee and tea in the living room-style lobby.
“Shorebreak — with its unbeatable beachfront location — is the perfect opportunity for Kimpton to enter the booming Orange County market and expand further into the leisure and resort sector,” said Mike DeFrino, CEO of Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants. The company has seen success in other Southern California leisure markets such as Santa Barbara, Goleta and La Jolla, and the Shorebreak strengthens its presence along the coast.
The hotel’s location on The Strand places guests within easy reach of Huntington Beach’s iconic attractions, local dining and outdoor recreation. With its combination of coastal views, event space and Kimpton’s attentive service, the Shorebreak is positioned to appeal to both leisure travelers and groups seeking a scenic beachfront destination in Orange County.
