Everything there was beautiful and wonderful to see, all the shops were fantastic. The food was great everything was so close together ,you didn't need a car you just walk around. We all had a fantastic time! It was amazing. I definitely want to go back as soon as I can I wish I could live there.Guest review byAnonymous - 10.0
Santa Barbara has a casual relaxed feeling to it.
Santa Barbara has a casual relaxed feeling to it. A walk on the pier is a must. Free 90minute parking but walk instead. The Spanish-style architecture gives the city a unique charm. With the mountains as a background, the ocean spreads out to the west. This is a city to chill and stroll in. Most of restaurants are located on State Street, which was closed off to vehicles and was more like a pedestrian Mall on Sunday night. Not sure if it's closed for foot traffic every night. Do be aware of bikes-etc. on State Street though.Guest review byDennisUnited States - 10.0

I had visited Santa Barbara in the summer of 2023 and returned now in April 2024: great vibes, good restaurants, and friendly staff. No surprise, the best experience was in the summer, but I could enjoy it a lot in April as well.Guest review byPaulo HeidrichBrazil

- From US$386.46 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.7Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 485 reviewsThis hotel is fabulous and in a great location to explore Santa Barbara. We had a wonderful room overlooking the beach, pier and harbour with private balcony with a beautiful sunrise every morning. The breakfast and cheese and wine afternoon is great and plenty full. Also there is a hot drinks station open 24/7. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. The heated pool and jacuzzi are great to for a relax after a sight seeing day. I would highly recommend staying at the hotel when in Santa Barbara. Thank you and we will be backGuest review byDeborahUnited Kingdom
