Spent new years eve at the hotel as we were attending party in the hotel. We live in Montecito and just did not want to drive. Stayed in a beautiful suite. Loved the decor and lay out of the room. Although our suite was just over the entry to the hotel we were not kept up by any noise from... more

Just spent New Year's Eve there. To begin with it needs to be said that the entire experience was a bit lousy as far as dealing with the hotel was concerned -- I am hoping that I can still deliver a reasonably balanced assessment here. The strong points of this hotel are its location in downtown SB, the cleanliness of... more

I AM really enjoying this hotel. The rooms and beds are great. They have great turn down service as well. I had NO problems and felt safe on the property. The food in the restaurant is OK, nothing to write home about. But, that's ok because you're downtown and can get any cuisine you want almost within walking distance. more

I traveled to Santa Barbara on my own to celebrate my 40th birthday. I've previously stayed at Bacara and Four Seasons (Biltmore) and was unimpressed with the lack of bang that I got for the buck at these 4-5 star properties. A friend recommended the Canary and I should send my friend a thank you card. I live in Los... more

The Canary was great! It was clean, we had friendly and prompt service and the decor was modern but also comfortable and luxurious! The roof pool, jacuzzi and lounge looked really nice, but it was super cold and windy so we didn't get to hang there. Our room had dark hardwood floors and a 4 poster canopy bed (not to... more

I stayed one weekend night at the Canary and was very pleased with the hotel overall. The greatest thing about Santa Barbara is the lovely architecture and absence of hideous modern building/development. The fine folks from Shutters Hotel took over this space and improved on the loveliness. We had a spacious room with a beautiful 4-poster bed, lush white linens,... more

I wish I could say I loved my experience at the Canary. The location is superb, the decor beautiful, the appointments clearly well thought out. Having worked at luxury properties as both a Catering Manager and a PR Director, I feel my taste is discerning; this is an exquisite property. What was entirely not exquisite, however, was the customer service... more

Husband and I stayed three nights mid-week. We picked this hotel for its great location - easily walkable to downtown shops, restaurants and historic buildings - and were not disappointed. The staff, from the front desk to the valet, managed to be both friendly and professional. The decor is Spanish/Moorish, which is lovely and different from the usual bland hotel... more

A week before our year long planned trip to Santa Barbara we cancelled our original choice of hotel - The Inn of the Spanish Garden, due to poor feedback from a relative that had stayed there. So despite having a great rate on this hotel we looked elswhere and after much research on the internet and trip advisor plumpled for... more
