Set amid 7 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, this meticulously restored 92-room Spanish Colonial hotel is secluded on a hillside overlooking Santa Barbara and the Pacific Ocean. Individually decorated California-style bungalows, some with separate sitting rooms, fireplaces, private terraces or gardens, and views of the coastline, feature luxurious king-size beds and spacious baths with heated floors, marble tubs and separate walk-in showers. Contemporary California coastal fare is served in a dining room-terrace, and The Lounge offers light dining or afternoon tea. Additionally, classic American selections are available at the bar. Amenities include a spa with seven treatment rooms, a fitness center and an outdoor infinity-edge pool. Complimentary bicycles, cave diving and winery tours are also available.
