Featured Hotel: Hotel Californian

Here, you’ll lavish in every luxurious touch, whether it’s taking a break on the rooftop pool with a panoramic view of palm trees and Pacific shoreline or treating your skin to a decadent treatment at the surreal spa. Even the facade tells a special story, with history dating back to the original 1925 hotel itself.

Our newest addition, this hotel may be called Hotel Californian, but is pure Santa Barbara from its trendy Funk Zone neighborhood location to its two signature restaurants. This is truly one of the most impressive, incredible hotel options we’ve ever offered. Will it make you fall in love with the city? No doubt. Will you want to leave and actually see the sights? That might be up for debate.
