The perfect blend of comfort and style
We didn’t seem to get a winter chill in southern California this year, so I set my sights on chasing the sun in Huntington Beach. I craved a retreat that combined luxury with the laid-back charm of Southern California. Paséa Hotel & Spa in Huntington Beach offered just that—a perfect blend of comfort and style in the California sun.

A sanctuary with a panoramic ocean view
Located along the Pacific Coast Highway, Paséa Hotel & Spa greeted me with its modern design and welcoming spirit. The lobby's coastal-inspired décor set the tone for a relaxing stay. My oceanfront king room featured a wrap-around balcony with panoramic ocean views. Waking up to the sight of a morning sunrise, beach pier, and crashing waves was rejuvenating.

Poolside relaxation with the Treehouse Bar
The hotel's pool area, known as the Ninth Island Pool, became my daytime haven since it was at least 70 degrees in January. With comfortable loungers and palm tree views, it was easy to unwind. Adjacent to the pool, the Treehouse Bar offered craft cocktails and a relaxed ambiance, making it a perfect spot for evening drinks. I must say Miguel made the best drink I’ve ever seen and tasted!

Beach access and local exploration
Paséa's proximity to Huntington Beach pier to watch a sunset and Main Street shopping made exploring effortless. A short walk led me to Main Street shopping and the vibrant beach scene. The hotel's beach amenities, including teal-colored bike rentals, added to the convenience. You can really feel the SoCal style and spirit by strolling around!
