The Best Hotels in Santa Barbara, California
"If you’re a fan of interesting, bespoke details and plenty of charm, you will love the anti-formulaic aesthetic that this hotel has managed to infuse into its property. Think floral armchairs, marble-topped tables, pale pink vintage-style umbrellas, and woven dining chairs. Plus, the handsome guest rooms and suites are all situated amongst a tranquil Mediterranean-style courtyard, right off a communal lobby lounge where you can hang out, work, or meet up with friends (or make some new ones). And really who wouldn’t want to stay at a casual, thrift-store-preppy boutique hotel that was formerly the site of The Santa Barbara School of the Arts? Located in a neighborhood-y section of Santa Barbara just a block or two off the main drag, this hotel feels both private and intimate while still being within walking distance from everything you could want."
