Hotel Californian - A Martyn Lawrence Bullard-designed coastal resort with rooftop pool, Moroccan spa, and direct beach access in Santa Barbara's Funk Zone

Located in West Beach, this 121-room Santa Barbara hotel features celebrity designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard's Moroccan-influenced interiors behind a restored 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival facade. The property includes a rooftop pool and deck offering panoramic views of the coastline and Santa Ynez Mountains. Executive Chef Travis Watson oversees multiple dining venues, including Blackbird restaurant and The Society: State & Mason wine tasting room featuring over 70 Foley Family wines. Guest accommodations range from standard rooms to the Alcazar presidential suite, with the largest rooms featuring fireplaces and mountain or ocean views. A Turkish-inspired Majorelle Spa provides treatment rooms and steam facilities. The property sits one block from the Amtrak station and steps from the beach, positioning guests at the entrance of the food and wine-centric Funk Zone district.
