The Steward, Santa Barbara, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
The Steward opened its doors in July 2023 in Santa Barbara, California, offering guests a secret hideaway, tucked between the ocean and mountains in California’s idyllic central coast. Sitting on nearly five verdant acres of lavish gardens, the 87-all suite boutique hotel is rooted in the land’s rich history with a focus on sustainability. Offering the best of both worlds with nearby beaches and mountain terrain, The Steward is also located a short drive away from Downtown Santa Barbara. The hotel features a lobby lounge with a fireplace and intimate market, a nature inspired restaurant and bar with signature botanically-inspired cocktails, custom local artwork, house bicycles, outdoor fire pits and a plethora of hidden moments scattered throughout the grounds. From a serene pool surrounded by nature, a daybed swing, and a historic fitness barn to outdoor dining among the gardens, there is a magical experience at every turn.
