Aesthetic and comfortable: Huntley Hotel Santa Monica Beach provides casual luxury
An excellent hotel in one of the city's quietest districts guarantees a high standard of accommodation: The Huntley is a meeting place for creative people and design fans - not a classic beach hotel like the rather cold Regent or the lovable but ageing Shutters On The Beach, but an exciting, urban alternative and still only minutes away from the coast. Built in the 1960s and lavishly modernized into an unobtrusively beautiful design object, the lobby of this "place to be" is already a statement: high ceilings, cool stone floors, walls of brushed metal and glass, in between soft sofas in sandy tones.
Manju Raman, the charismatic General Manager of the Huntley Hotel in Santa Monica, sees her hotel as an ambassador for a modern interpretation of luxury. Under her many years of management, the Huntley Hotel has developed into an iconic lifestyle meeting place where cosmopolitan travelers, locals and creatives alike celebrate the ease of West Coast living.
The hotel's best rooms, decorated in bright natural colors, offer a view of the Pacific Ocean - the sun dances on the water outside the window. The heart of the hotel beats at the very top: The Penthouse, restaurant and rooftop lounge, is currently the hottest address for connoisseurs. While the ambience skilfully plays with light and color - lots of white, soft sand and sea tones, plus subtle nautical details - The Penthouse is the big stage for one of California's great chefs: Chef Manny.
On his plates are not only perfectly prepared trendy dishes such as seared scallops with cauliflower puree, filet mignon with truffle jus or vegan bowls with quinoa and beet, but also a very special meat delicacy: Beef from Creekstone.
The company from Arkansas City breeds Black Angus and Duroc cattle, which are known for their quality and marbling. The animals come exclusively from family-run farms in the Midwest, where they are raised on open pastures and later fed a natural, plant-based grain mixture - guaranteed without hormones or antibiotics. The feed is crucial: Creekstone only uses varieties that provide an incomparably fine marbling - and thus serve as the key to a juicy taste and soft texture. This has also been noticed by celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck, who regularly shops at Creekstone.
