Before there was Hollywood, there was Santa Barbara. All the movie production companies that eventually relocated to Los Angeles first made their home right here in Santa Barbara. Even after many stars moved on to Hollywood, Santa Barbara’s allure could not be denied, and this was where they came back to play and to live.
The history of our Inn isn’t all that attracts guests. Our iconic hotel is located within walking distance of Santa Barbara’s top beaches, with boutique shopping and fine dining options just steps away along Coast Village Road. If you’ve got a taste for the finer things, take a drive to Santa Barbara wine country. If collegiate endeavors are on the syllabus, you’ve come to the right spot. From whale watching to art galleries to live theater, there’s a lot to explore near the Montecito Inn.
