Check Availability & Pricing
Amenity highlights: Staff members address patrons by name, and will prepare guestrooms in advance with gift baskets for any occasion. The hotel's gold-plated light fixtures and refurbished Otis elevator are 1927 originals. A lobby-side breakfast nook is set each morning with complimentary pastries, fruits, coffee, juice, and tea. A year-round splash pool, spa tub, and sauna are surrounded by lounge chairs, umbrella-covered tables, shade trees, and lush foliage.
Insider tip: With many of its lavish homes modeled after estates in England, Italy, and France, Montecito has been a coveted celebrity getaway for a century. The best star-sighting spot is the farmers market on Friday mornings, four blocks from the inn; it's not unusual to see locals including Oprah Winfrey, Jeff Bridges, and Kristi Yamaguchi rummaging through bins of fresh produce.

The wine list includes regional varietals by the bottle and glass. Orders may also be placed as room service, or for bar- or pool-side dining. Cafe Bar - Across the hotel's main drive, the sunlight-filled bar is also a Montecito hot spot, especially in the early evening hours.
