The Emerald Iguana Inn - A craftsman-style boutique hotel with spa cottages, private pools, and historic river rock architecture from 1906

Surrounded by majestic oak and sycamore trees, The Emerald Iguana Inn showcases Spanish-inspired Craftsman Art Nouveau architecture in downtown Ojai. This 4-star Ojai hotel features accommodations with king or queen beds, complemented by amenities ranging from claw foot bathtubs to handmade tile fireplaces. Guest rooms and cottages surround a central courtyard pool and whirlpool spa, bordered by exposed river rock walls dating to 1906. The property offers fully-equipped kitchens in select units, private patios, and courtyards with water features throughout. In-room massage services are available year-round, with treatments ranging from 50-minute sessions to 2-hour therapeutic experiences. A continental breakfast basket and wine package service is provided upon request. The Emerald Iguana Inn sits 46.5 miles from Santa Barbara, with the Los Padres National Forest's hiking and biking trails bordering the valley.

Pros

Barcelona-influenced architectural details include dramatic archways and organic lines by architect Marc Whitman

Property features multiple decorative water elements, including a signature tile-mosaic iguana fountain

Original river rock and stone walls preserved from 1906 create authentic historic ambiance

Custom tilework by local RTK Studios artisans appears throughout the property

Cons

Certain suites are only accessible via stairs

Some amenities require advance request or additional fees

“The architecture stands out, clearly born from a love of Ojai and thoughtful design. The adult-only focus ensures a particularly tranquil environment, supported by the option of in-house massage services. Its location makes it easy to enjoy both the town and nearby hiking trails.”
