Hotel Californian

Hotel Californian offers a refined coastal sanctuary in the heart of Santa Barbara, designed to nourish both body and mind. Just steps from the Pacific and in the heart of the Funk Zone, this 121-room hotel blends luxury, culture, and tranquility, making it the perfect setting for a holistic wellness escape. Featuring dazzling spaces from celebrity designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, the iconoclastic enclave—part history, part imagination, and all Californian—continues to upend conventional expectations.

Guests can begin their day with an energizing workout in the onsite fitness center or take part in Saturday Sessions, a curated series of expert-led, complimentary fitness classes that rotate weekly. Afterward, the rooftop pool provides a serene retreat with 360-degree unobstructed views and a calming coastal breeze.

For deeper rejuvenation, Majorelle, the hotel’s 2,500sq.ft. Moroccan-inspired spa offers personalized treatments tailored to each individual’s wellness journey. Whether it’s a customized massage, revitalizing facial, or immersive wellness experience, each service is designed to bring balance and renewal.

Beyond traditional wellness, Hotel Californian elevates the mind-body experience through signature events such as HOWL, a monthly full-moon gathering that combines movement, music, and insightful tarot readings, and Sunset Sessions, a live music series that invites guests to unwind on the rooftop with soulful sounds as the sun dips behind the mountains.

Whether seeking stillness, stimulation, or something in between, Hotel Californian offers an inspiring space to disconnect from the everyday and reconnect with self.
