Hotel Californian adds a modern touch to Santa Barbara’s revitalized waterfront. The 121-room hotel features a traditional Spanish colonial exterior paired with a design-centric interior, beginning with more than a million Moroccan-inspired tiles in dozens of different patterns. Its richly appointed spa uses Majorelle blue to set a soothing tone for customized therapies. Acclaimed mixologist Devon Espinosa brings his unparalleled cocktails to Blackbird and Goat Tree restaurants and Djinn library bar. Watch the sunset by the rooftop pool, which features breathtaking views of the Pacific coastline and the Santa Ynez Mountains.
