Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: East Beach, with its calm, sparkling waters, is right across the street from this Spanish Colonial–style hotel. Palm trees and colorful gardens dot the grounds, creating a welcoming, relaxed ambience. Opened in 1931, Hotel Mar Monte has been thoroughly updated while retaining its historic charm.
Amenity highlights: The hotel’s highly regarded restaurant, Bistro Eleven Eleven, showcases California coastal cuisine complemented by ocean vistas. An outdoor pool is surrounded by a beach-view sundeck with lounge chairs and umbrellas. A small day spa offers massage, body treatments, and facials.
Insider tip: At the Santa Barbara Zoo, 1.5 blocks from the hotel, visitors can hand-feed colorful lorikeets and friendly giraffes. Lorikeets sip sweet nectar, while giraffes munch on specially formulated biscuits. The feeding schedule is flexible, based on the animals’ behavior and therefore not guaranteed. Check at the admissions gate for times.
