Hotel Californian

Hotel Californian sits at the gateway to Santa Barbara’s Funk Zone on State Street, only steps from the beach, Stearns Wharf, tasting rooms and the Amtrak station. The 121-room property combines Spanish Colonial Revival architecture with bold Moroccan references and custom furnishings by designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, giving the interiors far more personality than a typical coastal resort. Guestrooms range from roughly 450-square-foot Almeria rooms to larger balcony and patio categories, while the 1,280-square-foot Magellan Suite and 1,705-square-foot Alcazar Suite introduce fireplaces, substantial living areas and stronger mountain or ocean views.
