The Steward, Santa Barbara, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel - A garden-view property with spacious suites and pool in historic Goleta
Located in the suburban charm of Goleta, this Santa Barbara hotel sits on a distinctive property surrounded by protected flora, including heritage trees, Australian bunya, and one of California's oldest bird of paradise plants. The Steward features newly renovated suites equipped with king or two queen beds, queen-size sofa sleepers, and Smart TVs. Each suite provides a separate living room, mini-fridge, and complimentary WiFi. The Tribute Portfolio property maintains an outdoor pool and hot tub within a garden setting. Accessibility options include rooms with roll-in showers, tubs with grab bars, and hearing-impaired accessories. The Victorian-inspired Sexton House offers meeting spaces with A/V equipment and professional support. The property's position near Highway 101 connects guests to UCSB (2.5 miles), Goleta Beach Park (1.5 miles), and the Santa Barbara Orchid Estate (1 mile).
Pros
Historic Sexton House features vintage artwork and Victorian lighting
Protected garden with heritage trees and rare flora species
Professional A/V support available for meetings

“Recently refreshed as a Tribute Portfolio hotel, this property stands out with its all-suite accommodations and locally-sourced Californian cuisine. The design blends a vintage ambiance with modern comfort, creating a distinct character. I particularly appreciate the outdoor spaces, including the pool and garden, which provide a relaxing contrast to its proximity to Santa Barbara's attractions.”
