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's downtown, this Spanish-colonial 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 and event space across seven venues. Guest accommodations showcase four-poster canopied beds with Italian Frette linens, hardwood floors, and locally-inspired design elements. The on-site Finch & Fork restaurant serves locally-sourced California coastal cuisine prepared with seasonal ingredients from area farmers and fishermen. An extensive wine program highlights Santa Barbara County vintages alongside international selections. The hotel sits surrounded by palm trees and hidden paseos filled with boutiques and cafes, just two blocks from the Wine Collection of El Paseo. The Urban Wine Trail includes several tasting rooms immediately surrounding Kimpton Canary, while Santa Barbara's vineyards lie 45 minutes away.

Pros

The rooftop features downtown Santa Barbara's largest pool terrace with mountain and ocean views

Located within walking distance of multiple Urban Wine Trail tasting rooms

Pet-friendly accommodations with no additional fees

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

Complimentary bike rentals for exploring the area

Cons

Wine Country vineyards require a 45-minute drive to reach

State Street location can experience heavy pedestrian traffic during peak seasons

“In my opinion, this is a Spanish-style hotel with a lively rooftop scene, including what I found to be the largest rooftop pool in Santa Barbara. The hotel's location makes it easy to explore State Street and its many shops and restaurants. I think the commitment to local wines during the complimentary evening wine hour is a particularly nice touch.”
