The Waterfront Beach Resort, A Hilton Hotel  

On Huntington Beach's shoreline, this oceanfront resort sits steps from Pacific City, the Pier and Huntington Beach State Park. It’s about 3 km from the city center, a 20‑minute drive from John Wayne Airport and roughly 30 minutes to Knott’s Berry Farm and Disneyland. Walkable to shops, restaurants, nightlife and public transit, and very family-friendly for beach weekends.

Newly renovated rooms offer warm décor, TVs and bathrobes with ocean or city views depending on the room. The property pairs dramatic touches — an indoor waterfall and panoramic bar — with casual beach vibes like fire pits and private cabanas. Expect pools indoors and out, a kids club, bike rentals and tennis courts for easy days under the California sun.

Stand-out offerings include outdoor and indoor pools, a full spa with cabana service, beach butler service and bonfires on the sand. The daily resort charge covers Wi‑Fi, a beach wagon with chairs and umbrella, refillable water stations, on‑site activities and discounts on spa services and bike rentals. Wake up to sea‑breeze mornings and roll into board games, family activities or a chilled drink at the pool.

Meeting rooms, boardrooms and a business center handle events of many sizes. High‑speed internet is included with the resort charge for easy connectivity.

Multiple on‑site dining options range from a rooftop bar with ocean views to a main restaurant serving prime‑cut steaks, grilled salmon and coastal California dishes. There’s also a casual market and coffee shop, poolside bar options and a pizza outlet — plus on‑site food and retail credits and discounts included in the resort charge.
