Kimpton Canary Hotel By Ihg - A Spanish-style downtown hotel with rooftop pool, farm-to-table dining, and panoramic mountain views

Located steps from State Street in Santa Barbara Downtown, this 4-star Santa Barbara hotel features a 1800-square-foot rooftop terrace with a heated swimming pool, hot tub, and two fireplaces offering 360-degree views of the Pacific Ocean and Santa Ynez Mountains. 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 hotel sits two blocks from the Wine Collection of El Paseo, surrounded by boutiques and cafes in hidden paseos. Six tasting rooms on the Urban Wine Trail are within walking distance, while Santa Barbara's vineyards lie 45 minutes away through the Santa Ynez Valley.

Pros

The rooftop terrace offers the largest hotel pool in downtown Santa Barbara

Walking distance to multiple Urban Wine Trail tasting rooms

Pet-friendly with no additional fees

Daily complimentary wine hour from 5-6pm in the lobby

Cons

Wine Country requires a 45-minute drive

No on-site spa facilities

“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.”
