Hotel Californian

Hotel Californian is a stunning hotel located steps away from the beachfront and pier that is redefining modern luxury on Santa Barbara’s American Riviera, seamlessly blending bold Moroccan-inspired design with the vibrant, art-forward cultural energy of the Funk Zone, just steps from the beach. From Majorelle Spa to rooftop sunset DJ sets and chic poolside lounging at Tan-Tan, the hotel delivers a stylish, high-energy stay that feels distinctly Santa Barbara. Culinary programming shines at signature venues Blackbird and The Society: State & Mason, where familiar cuisine, cocktails, and wine are reinvented through chef- and winemaker-driven interpretations. Featuring captivating interiors by celebrity designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, the 121-room property is equal parts heritage and Funk Zone creativity—an unmistakably Californian escape for today’s experience-driven traveler.
