Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants expanded its presence in Southern California with the addition of the Shorebreak Hotel in Huntington Beach to its portfolio. The hotel becomes Kimpton’s eighth in Southern California and the first for the brand in Orange County, joining its portfolio of 64 hotels and more than 70 restaurants around the nation.

Located within The Strand, a mixed-use commercial development steps from the iconic Huntington Beach Pier, the Shorebreak offers 157 guestrooms, waterfront views, a fitness center and more than 3,900 square feet of meeting and event space. As a Kimpton hotel, the property now offers signature brand programs and amenities including cruise PUBLIC Bikes, in-room yoga mats, pet-friendly policies, hosted evening wine hours and coffee and tea in the living room lobby.

“Shorebreak — with its unbeatable beachfront location — is the perfect opportunity for Kimpton to enter the booming Orange County market and expand even further into the leisure and resort sector where we’ve already shown great success in other Southern California cities such as Santa Barbara, Goleta and La Jolla,” said Mike DeFrino, CEO, Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants.
