Rooms with Rooftop Views

The hotel offers rooms and suites with four-poster canopy beds, Italian Frette linens, and hardwood floors. Select suites include private balconies with ocean views, separate living areas with sofa beds, and soaking tubs. All accommodations feature Nespresso machines, yoga mats, and Atelier Bloem bath amenities. The 1,300-square-foot King Canary Suite has a wraparound balcony and two bathrooms.

Finch & Fork Restaurant

The on-site Finch & Fork serves California coastal cuisine using ingredients from local farmers and fishermen. The menu includes oysters, diver scallops, and King salmon. The restaurant offers an extensive list of Santa Barbara County wines, craft cocktails, and local beers. Private dining and custom catering are available for events.

Rooftop Pool & Recreation

The hotel features Santa Barbara's only rooftop pool, a heated saltwater pool with a hot tub and two fireplaces. The 1,800-square-foot terrace provides 360-degree views of the Pacific Ocean and Santa Ynez Mountains. Yoga sessions are held on the rooftop. The hotel provides yoga mats in every room and partners with FLOAT Luxury Spa for treatments.

Downtown Santa Barbara Location

The hotel is located in downtown Santa Barbara, steps from State Street and Paseo Nuevo shopping center. The Urban Wine Trail includes several tasting rooms within walking distance, including Santa Barbara Winery and Jamie Slone Wines. The beach and Douglas Family Preserve are a 10-minute drive away. Santa Barbara's vineyards are a 45-minute drive through the Santa Ynez Valley.

Pet-Friendly Services & Amenities

The hotel welcomes pets with food and water bowls, pet beds, and no additional fees. It offers partnerships with local pet services including Wag, Barbie's Pet Salon, and Camp Canine. Nearby dog-friendly areas include Douglas Family Preserve (off-leash trails) and Arroyo Burro Beach. The hotel provides electric vehicle charging stations and uses energy-efficient LED lighting throughout.

“My time here felt rooted in the very pulse of Santa Barbara, a five-minute stroll to State Street's vibrant shops and dining, with the oceanfront a pleasant walk away. The rooms themselves were quite comfortable, particularly those with balconies offering a lovely perspective, though I did notice the housekeeping could be more attentive to small details. Still, the genuine warmth from the reception team and the charm of the rooftop pool made for a truly agreeable stay.”
