Hotel Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara

A Historic Santa Barbara Landmark, Newly Reimagined

A downtown landmark for over 100 years, Hotel Santa Barbara blends historic character with a stunning new renovation. A light-filled lobby welcomes guests with striking archways and columns, while the stylish 1926 bar channels Roaring Twenties glamour with cocktails and small plates served throughout the day. Upstairs, the thoughtfully updated guest rooms feature rich tones, artisan details, and contemporary furnishings. Set along vibrant State Street, the hotel places guests within walking distance of the Funk Zone, Urban Wine Trail, Stearns Wharf, the beach, and Santa Barbara’s celebrated dining and shopping scene.
