The Huntley Santa Monica Beach can host company receptions, meetings, galas, private dinners and weddings for up to 300 guests standing, or 160 seated for a banquet in its largest room. The hotel stands at 1111 Second Street in Santa Monica, California, and keeps 204 guest rooms under the same roof as its event spaces.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells meetings, corporate events, receptions and cocktail evenings. Audiovisual equipment is available in the second-floor event spaces, and also with a full buyout of the Penthouse. High-speed Wi-Fi is provided. For a group of ten or more bedrooms, the hotel offers a room block at a preferred group rate, which lets an organiser keep delegates and meeting rooms in one building.
Weddings and receptions
Social events are a large part of the offer. The Regal and Terrace pairs an indoor room with a private terrace, which suits a ceremony drinks hour followed by dinner. The Crystal Room can be divided into smaller rooms for a rehearsal dinner or a smaller reception. The Penthouse can be taken in full or in part for larger weddings.
Rooms and capacities
The Penthouse on the 18th floor measures 4,650 sq ft and takes 160 guests at a banquet or 300 at a reception. It contains three semi-private areas: the Sunset Lounge (455 sq ft, 40 for a reception), the Skyline (755 sq ft, 80 at a banquet) and the Twilight (345 sq ft, around 30 to 45 at a banquet). The Regal and Terrace covers 3,000 sq ft and holds 80 seated, with a reception figure of 120 to 130 and 45 in a U-shape. The Crystal Room covers 1,685 sq ft, with 100 seated at a banquet and 120 or more at a reception. The hotel lists over 5,000 sq ft of indoor and outdoor event space in total.
Accommodation
The hotel has 204 guest rooms, including 16 suites and one Presidential Suite. This lets a seminar, its dinner and its overnight stay happen in the same place.
