When i want to stay someplace romantic in Santa Barbara, something smaller and more personal than the Biltmore (another favorite) i always come to the Inn at the Spanish garden. All of the rooms have fire places, bath tubs and comfortable beds- perfect for romance and relaxation! Even cozy when it rains! Free wine tastings in the lobby give you... More

My partner and I just returned from a 1-week vacation in Santa Barbara, staying -- for the first time -- at the Inn of the Spanish Garden. The accommodations, staff and location were wonderful.

What a great stay at the Inn of the Spanish Garden. Spent a long weekend in Santa Barbara and stayed at the Inn. This is a small boutique style hotel with very comfortable accommodations. The room was large, and featured a balcony over looking the pool, and a fireplace. The staff was very friendly and went out of their way... More

My husband and I stayed at the Inn of the Spanish Garden for a weekend getaway in Santa Barbara. It's on a quiet street despite being within walking distance from downtown Santa Barbara - a fantastic location if you want to walk to places!

The inn tried their best to get me non-down pillows/blankets, but didn't have a large stock of items... More

Stayed here for a long weekend on New Year's Day with family with kids. The staff is incredible.

Highly recommended, also because of the very nice and clean rooms, and the location close to State Street. Big thank you to... More

My husband and I stayed here in August as we were driving down the California coast. The front desk was very warm and helpful. The grounds were beautiful and cozy. Both the room and bathroom were beautiful and spacious. The price was a little steep, but it was comparable to other Santa Barbara hotels. Would definitely stay here again! More

The staff is really friendly and helpful and we absolutely love the location, close to State Street and many great restaurants. We love room #23, with a fireplace and very nice bathtub. The perfect... More
