This was our second time coming back to this beautiful hotel. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, our room was spacious although because we were on the first floor we could hear through the walls. But overall a pleasant stay, 10/10 will definitely be returning.

We stayed here when we were eloping in Santa Barbara! The hotel itself was a dream and added so much joy to our entire experience. The room was lovely and large, and we had a wonderful time.

From the moment we arrived, Palihouse Santa Barbara felt like a dreamy Mediterranean escape tucked right into downtown. The hotel is beautifully designed—charming, chic, and full of thoughtful details like Smeg fridges, Diptyque toiletries, and plush robes. Our room was cozy, quiet, and perfectly appointed, with a lovely balcony that made morning coffee feel extra special.
