Location in Funk Zone
Located in the Funk Zone, Hotel Californian is near galleries, studios, museums, microbreweries, and restaurants. It is steps from the beach and one block from the Amtrak Station. The Santa Barbara Urban Wine Trail and wineries are nearby. It is bordered by Highway 101, State Street, Cabrillo Boulevard, and Garden Street.
Services and Amenities
Hotel Californian provides custom Hotel Californian bicycles, Tesla and standard EV car chargers, high-speed wireless internet, a tech and game library, and beach chairs and umbrellas. Valet parking is available onsite, and self-parking is available in the public parking garage. The hotel offers complimentary local transfers within a 2-mile radius. Guests can access exclusive on-property activities and events.
“Hotel Californian's location, near both the beach and the Funk Zone, is undeniably appealing; the Moroccan-inspired design, though, feels like a gamble that doesn't always pay off, based on what I've seen. Service hiccups reported suggest a gap between aspiration and consistent execution; ultimately, I think potential guests should weigh style versus substance here.”
