Hotel Californian

Amazing location close to the beach and the Funkzone. I am fortunate enough to have stayed in a lot of 5* hotels and I think the room in this one is the best I have ever stayed in. The little touches like a little poem or words of wisdom left in the room at turn down, just make it feel that much more special. Really friendly and helpful staff, not too formal (which I prefer). We really couldn't have asked for more. We would never stay anywhere else in Santa Barbara. We stayed several places from San Francisco to LA and agreed this is the place we wish we had spent more time. Excellent, treat yourself to a stay at the Californian, you really won't regret it.

As hoteliers/restaurateurs, we have a different and sometimes stricter perspective than others. I can only congratulate the hotelier here. We had room 320 and were completely satisfied. What a great room and the service was always unobtrusively nice and courteous. We have traveled halfway around the world but rarely have we stayed in such a great hotel. Congratulations! As there was not a hair in the soup to be found, we can wholeheartedly give a full score here...🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

The room is beautifully appointed and the hotel is located in the best possible location.

Great location with hotel spread across three buildings at the end of state street and near Stearn’s pier - location is good and just one block from the water

loved the Californian - honestly came from Santa Monica to Santa Barbara it was like a breath of fresh air !! chalk and cheese - anyway great hotel - good food nearby - great everything ! will come again !
