"Hotel Californian is so utterly cool, it can make every guest cool just by association. The hotel, located near Santa Barbara's train station, was designed by Martyn Lawrence Bullard, who created a bright and airy atmosphere, including a Moroccan-inspired lobby with stunning tile work, which is mirrored throughout the hotel's luxurious rooms. But, the star here is the hotel's rooftop pool, which gives guests an ideal spot to relax in solitude while looking out onto the Pacific Ocean." - Travel + Leisure Editors
