Top Santa Barbara 4 Star hotels

Santa Barbara Inn
I liked that it's accessible to the beach across the street. It was a better experience than when I reserved at another hotel a year ago.

The Upham Hotel
We stayed in the cottage in Jan. of '26 and had a delightful time. The hotel (more of an inn) is located within a few blocks of all our favorite Santa Barbara hangs, and the cozy, peaceful environment inside was particularly nice.
