The property encompasses over 7300 square feet of flexible meeting spaces, including seven venue rooms. The on-site Finch & Fork restaurant serves locally-sourced California coastal cuisine prepared with ingredients from Santa Barbara's farmers and fishermen. Guest accommodations include four-poster canopied beds with Italian Frette linens, Atelier Bloem bath amenities, and Nespresso coffee machines.

“The location's a real advantage, putting you within easy reach of State Street, plus the bar and restaurant offer genuinely appealing spaces. The rooftop pool stands out, and I like the hotel's pet-friendly approach; it clearly aims for a relaxed, welcoming vibe. A solid choice for a Santa Barbara stay.”
