The Best Hotels in Santa Barbara, California

"The Ritz-Carlton Bacara is a truly unbelievable property on the Pacific Ocean with candidly unmatched views and elevated tranquility. What more could you ask for? The casual luxury and spacious seaside rooms (many with expansive balconies) are perhaps just what the doctor ordered. And with two-Michelin-starred chef Danny Grant and his Maple Hospitality Group transforming the hotel's signature restaurant Angel Oak, we’re also ready to feast here. Whether you want to stay indoors at the 42,000-square-foot spa or head outdoors for some horseback riding or surfing, there’s so much to do. Right now, The Ritz-Carlton Bacara is undergoing a complete renovation that is slated to be finished in May 2025; we look forward to seeing everything that’s new and updated."
