Fodor's Expert Review Huntley Santa Monica Beach
1111 2nd St., Santa Monica, California, 90403, USA
This sleek, tech-savvy property keeps the Silicon Beach business traveler in mind. It's situated two steep blocks from the beach, near the Third Street Promenade and chic Montana Avenue. The thoughtfully designed guest rooms offer luxurious comforts like high-thread-count sheets and a work desk with a view. In-room gadgets are thoroughly of the moment: think automatic lighting, iPads, 60-inch TVs, Nespresso machines, Wi-Fi, and charging ports everywhere. Corner rooms have the best views. The Penthouse lounge with its retracting roof is quite the scene on weekends, with 360-degree panoramic views of the Pacific, Malibu, the South Bay, Downtown Los Angeles, and LAX. Try the selfie station in the corner.

- great ocean views
