Hotel Californian: prices, traveler reviews & what it’s worth
Perched where the Santa Ynez Mountains meet the Pacific, Hotel Californian channels the American Riviera with a cinematic blend of Spanish Colonial Revival and Moroccan-inflected interiors by Martyn Lawrence Bullard. Steps from the Funk Zone and beach, it pairs intimate seaside rooms, lively dining and a restorative spa with a rooftop pool and event spaces that feel both glamorous and quietly convivial.
