Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa

Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa Review

The design of this handsome property, which sprawls along the PCH and incorporates courtyards with fountains and firepots, is a nod to California's Mission period. Nearly all of the spacious rooms offer ocean views and private balconies or terraces. Beach-theme artwork by local artists enhances guest rooms and public spaces. This Hyatt aims to create a village atmosphere, with expansive common grounds and an inviting shopping area, and to a large extent it has succeeded. Beach access is via a bridge over the PCH. Pros : close to beach; responsive staff; family-friendly. Cons : some partial ocean-view rooms are disappointing; pesky resort and daily valet fees.
