Hotels Near Downtown in Santa Barbara
Downtown Santa Barbara may never rest, but you'll need some shut-eye to take in all of the restaurants, bars, sites, and activities that State Street has to offer. With everything from hipster motels, posh hostelries, and historic B&Bs, there's an accommodation for everyone in the heart of town.
Most of our Top 10 spots are within walking distance to State Street shops, restaurants, and theaters, as well as beaches and Stearns Wharf. A few hotels--like Presidio Motel and Hotel Oceana--offer complimentary cruisers so guests can pedal around downtown, along the ocean side boardwalk on Cabrillo Boulevard, or to nearby destinations like the Old Mission and the Santa Barbara Zoo.
Bed and Breakfasts that made the list include The Upham and Simpson House Inn, both classic Victorian settings deeply rooted in the history of Santa Barbara. For something more modern, Presidio Motel and Agave Inn (Presidio's less centrally located sister motel) are this century's answer to '60s Americana accommodations.
Urban-inclined visitors are in for a treat at Canary Hotel, situated in the hub of State Street, while beach goers should check in to ocean view rooms at Hotel Oceana, Fess Parker's DoubleTree Resort, Casa Del Mar Inn, or Cabrillo Inn. No matter where you decide to lay your head, our Top 10 picks promise clean, comfy rooms and warm Santa Barbara hospitality.
