Hotels in Santa Barbara, United States

Situated a hundred miles from Los Angeles with a lively atmosphere and plenty to offer is this Spanish influenced Californian city. Widely known for its Spanish theme, much of Santa Barbara's architecture is relatively modern following its devastating 1925 earthquake. All around are reminders of the city's close Spanish colonial ties. In addition, everywhere you go in Santa Barbara, you won't be far from glorious golden beaches with its waving tropical palms.

At many a turn, you will find a mission building. The town has strong religious roots where its missionary outposts such as Santa Ines and La Purisima characterize the local landscape. Places to see while in Santa Barbara should include the popular tourist hotspot of State Street where you will enjoy local hospitality and generally sit back while you are typically wined and dined! El Cuartel (the local barracks), Steams Wharf and the Santa Barbara Historical Museum are also highly recommended places of interest.

You'll be made to feel comfortable in this welcoming city so be prepared to add an extra night or two to your stay!
