Hotel Features. European-style complimentary continental breakfasts include locally harvested fruits and fresh pastries served in a Mediterranean-inspired lounge or on the sun-dotted patio. Room service is provided by a local restaurant. Complimentary wireless Internet access, conference rooms and business services are available on site. The Spa offerings include the Oceanika Purifying Mud Wrap, Signature Sugar Scrub and French Rose Therapy.

Guestrooms. Exuding modern beach cool and detailed in pastel hues, the 122 guestrooms host whitewashed wicker furnishings, upholstered headboards with matching ottomans and framed botanical prints. Bedding includes imported Egyptian cotton linens with down comforters and pillows, and arched entryways lead to bathrooms with Aveda toiletries. Rooms are not air conditioned, but each has a ceiling fan and windows that open to fresh, off-shore breezes. Select rooms have fireplaces, and microwave ovens are available on request. Amenities include refrigerators and CD players.

Expert Tip. Located one-quarter mile away on State Street, the Santa Barbara Electric Trolley traverses the boulevard on a regular basis. Holiday visitors will recognize the trolley because it is the only local form of transportation that sports a pilgrim's hat at Thanksgiving and a Santa hat at Christmas.
