Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa

CHALLENGE The challenge was to create a premier luxury beach resort and conference facility that would provide ocean views throughout, and complement the neighboring Waterfront Hilton and entire seaside community.

SOLUTION A four-story structure was designed to simulate an Andalusian-style villa, reminiscent of Spain's southern coast, with four ocean-view courtyards positioned throughout the property. Distinctive fountains, pools and landscaping accentuate the lush "Mediterranean" garden environment. The conference center, located at the west end of the property, holds the majority of the resort's function space, and is complete with its own porte cochere entrance and lobby. Perched above the historic Pacific Coast Highway, the resort provides dramatic ocean views from guestrooms, suites and meeting areas.

SIZE 16 acres 517 guestrooms including 57 suites 52,000-square-foot conference center 10,000-square-foot retail space

AMENITIES Full-service spa; retail-shopping plaza; meeting and banquet areas including 20,000-square-foot ocean view ballroom; adjoining conference center; ocean view courtyard; direct beach access via connected pedestrian bridge; elegant restaurants; cabana dining and a surf-theme specialty restaurant
