About the Hotel
If youâ€(TM)ve ever wondered where Hollywood celebrities go to escape the bright lights, Montecito Inn in Santa Barbara, California, holds the answer. This historic property, built by cinema legend Charlie Chaplin in 1928 as a getaway for his closest friends, was a prototype for such retreats. Graceful domes, crafted ceiling coves, arched windows and French doors complement the propertyâ€(TM)s Mediterranean style. Take a dip in the pool, relax in your soothingly decorated bedroom or fireplace-adorned suite, and then meander to The Montecito Café for California Nouveau cuisine.

Gear stay at Montecito Inn close to all the best restaurants
Great experience start to finish. Location, location, location. Lion’s Tale is a fantastic hotel bar with great ambiance. Near many fabulous restaurants and shops on Coast Village Drive. 5 min away from San Ysidro Ranch. Jeannine’s is a couple blocks away, amazing Huevos Racheros and of course, adjacent to Lucky’s. Can’t be beat!

Very noisy hotel
We asked for a quiet room and got the loudest room on the front of the hotel. All night traffic, then at 6am the little kids above started jumping and shouting. A really bad night of sleep. I notified the front desk immediately and they said that there was nothing they could do. They should tell people about the street traffic noise in those front facing rooms on Coast Village Road.

Just Fantastic!
From the friendliest, most helpful staff to the comfy beds, you would be missing out if you didn’t stay here. Perfectly located to highways, just up the street from the beach and seconds from shopping. When I say the staff was outstanding, I truly mean it! Check out the Lion’s Tale for some amazing craft cocktails!

Historical Hotel
Very comfortable bed! Old-time 1920's charm and notable history. Centrally located to Montecito Coast Village Road shops and restaurants. Spacious hot tub and nice pool. Reasonably priced accommodations for this iconic hotel. I wish they had other dining besides sushi. I wish there were a full hot breakfast

Could have been different,,
The room was very nice,but drapes had to be closed at night by staff because of an electrical error,, do not leave bag open,,I had a beautiful scarf stolen from a suitcase,,, You have to ask for complimentary water,no matter how much you pay,,front desk staff was pleasant staff
