Santa Barbara

A Stylish Stay in Santa Barbara’s Funk Zone

In the heart of Santa Barbara’s vibrant Funk Zone, Riviera Beach House offers a stylish, contemporary retreat just steps from the beach, the waterfront, and neighborhood wine-tasting rooms. The boutique hotel’s thoughtfully designed guest rooms blend artistic sensibility with eco-conscious touches and modern amenities. Guests can enjoy inventive Mexican cuisine and craft cocktails at the on-site Santo Mezcal restaurant or explore the district’s lively mix of galleries, breweries, boutiques, and nightlife. Its walkable location makes Riviera Beach House an ideal base for experiencing one of Santa Barbara’s most dynamic neighborhoods.
