About the Hotel

Set in beautiful Santa Barbara, with the sprawling Pacific on one side and downtown Santa Barbara’s bars, galleries, and boutiques on the other, Hotel Californian is the new center of Santa Barbara’s waterfront. The iconic hotel made its debut in 1925 before being destroyed by an earthquake. It has now been rebuilt, incorporating the façade of the original hotel and featuring Spanish Colonial Revival architecture and modern Moorish interior décor from celebrity designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, whose aim is to ensure that no two rooms are alike. A part of the LVX collection of Preferred Hotels & Resorts, this stunning hotel is made up of three buildings; The Californian, The Mason, and The State building. Spacious guest rooms and suites enjoy luxurious finishes like tufted headboards, leather benches and custom cocktail bars.

Terrible room, unfriendly staff.

Reviewed 6 days ago

Terrible room- big but with terrible arrangement. Desk without a chair, TV on a wall that you couldn’t see from the two chairs or bed. Noisy from the hallway. Blinds didn’t move. Huge shower but faucet provided a small drip of water. Staff was hardly ever seen and not welcoming or attentive to any needs. We stayed 2 years ago and had a great experience. This time I was so disappointed especially paying over $750 a night!

We had early check-in at Hotel California with warm welcome, the room we stayed at is big, especially the king size bed is super comfy. The location of the hotel is the best, beautiful Spanish Style building, easy to walk to shopping, restaurants, we will be back soon. Thanks you, Jennifer/Troy

Been to SB a lot and this hotel is by far my favorite! The staff goes absolutely above and beyond for everything! Super friendly and always asking what more they can do for us. Ben, Lorenzo and Amber to name a few of the amazing staff! This is now my go to hotel in SB! We won’t stay anywhere else.
