A charming and historic boutique-style hotel in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara. Family owned and operated, the hotel embodies classic Santa Barbara.
Hotel Santa Barbara is a charming and historic boutique-style hotel in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara. It is the perfect place to relax and unwind before stepping outside and exploring Santa Barbara’s irresistible downtown area. Guests can walk to fine dining, shopping, theaters, and many other popular attractions before retreating to the hotel and being greeted by warm and friendly staff.
The hotel enjoys a rich history as one of Santa Barbara’s oldest institutions. Since 1876, a hotel has always been located on the site now occupied by Hotel Santa Barbara. In 1925, a major earthquake destroyed much of downtown Santa Barbara, including the hotel, which was rebuilt and reopened as the Saint Barbara. The Saint Barbara became a very popular getaway for many of Hollywood’s brightest stars until just after after World War II, when its popularity declined, and it eventually shut its doors.
The hotel was reopened in the late 1960’s, and in 1975, was purchased by Rolland and Venetia Jacks. With the help of their children, the Jacks family revitalized the hotel. In November 1996, the hotel closed for major renovation, opening 9 months later as a “reborn classic,” the Hotel Santa Barbara.
