Many accommodations offer private patios, garden views, and wood-burning fireplaces, while select suites include jacuzzi tubs and separate living areas. The property maintains a garden with Adirondack chairs, a softly bubbling fountain, and a shaded gazebo. Louie's Restaurant, located on-site, serves California comfort food paired with local wines. Guests receive complimentary morning pastries, fruit, coffee, and tea, plus a daily 5 PM wine reception. Situated in the Arts & Theater District, The Upham places visitors within 0.5 miles of Santa Barbara Museum of Art and the Historic La Arcada Courtyard, and a 5-minute drive from Stearns Wharf and beach access.
