The 23-room hotel, which boasts such accolades as one of the country’s best hotels by TripAdvisor’s Traveler’s Choice Awards, and named as one of the top hotels in Zagat’s “Top Hotel” Guide, is ideally situated on a quiet residential street near Santa Barbara’s chic downtown. It is here that visitors can browse tony shops, partake in fine dining, and experience world-class art museums and historic theaters, all only a few blocks away from the hotel amid a whitewashed and red-tiled collection of Spanish style architecture ensconced in gardens of climbing bougainvillea, swaying palms and colorful blooming flowers.

Contemporary/sophisticated Spanish Mediterranean-inspired design, luxurious beds with Frette linens, Anichini towels and robes, and Molton Brown bath amenities. This is where Santa Barbara hospitality is at its best. Discover the true spirit of this vibrant city with its historical landmarks, including The Granada, The Lobero, and Arlington Theaters, The Presidio District and the famous Mission Santa Barbara.
Guests enjoy daily complimentary breakfast, nightly turn down service, the use of a DVD library, high speed Internet access, deep soaking bathtubs, fitness center, outdoor heated swimming pool, guestrooms with either a garden or private balcony, and complimentary underground parking.
