Hotel Santa Barbara
533 STATE STREET
SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA 93101
UNITED STATES
This is the only hotel we could
find in the heart of Santa Barbara, California's State Street shopping,
dining and theatre district. There are many fantastic, gourmet restaurants,
paseos with the charm of old California and modern conveniences such as
Nordstrom's. Most hotels and resorts are near the beach or on streets surrounding
State Street. While you can get lots of exercise walking from your hotel
to the shops (always easier than driving and finding parking), this hotel
is located in the midst of it with everything just a step out the door.
The train station where Amtrak coastal excursion trains stop and the beach
are just a few long blocks down State Street and take from 5 to 10 minutes
to get to on foot, as we recall.
