"Old Hollywood meets the laid-back charm of the Central Coast at the alluring Hotel Californian, a coveted haven tucked into the vital Funk Zone of Santa Barbara. Within 121 generously apportioned rooms lies a treasure trove of tasty architectural flourishes. Spanish Colonial Revival elements blend harmoniously with the influences of Beat-era Tangiers, all masterfully envisioned by the renowned celebrity interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard. The rooms are their own sanctuary, but the Majorelle spa, with its Moroccan flair, offers a different kind of oasis—here, a personalized spa experience awaits, accompanied by an aroma design bar. Hotel Californian's allure is further heightened by its location in Santa Barbara—a coastal gem with sun-kissed shores and a vibrant culinary scene."
