An Insider's Take
'This Spanish Colonial Revival masterpiece has been Santa Barbara's crown jewel since 1931, where Old Hollywood glamour meets modern luxury just steps from East Beach.' What's Special? The Mar Monte's stunning ocean-facing terrace offers unobstructed views of the Santa Barbara Channel and Channel Islands. As part of Hyatt's prestigious Unbound Collection, guests enjoy exclusive Hyatt Privé benefits including complimentary breakfast, room upgrades, and resort credits. The hotel's prime location puts you within walking distance of the Santa Barbara Zoo, Stearns Wharf, and the historic Funk Zone arts district.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a room on the third or fourth floor ocean side for the best Channel Islands sunset views, and time your stay during whale migration season (May-September) for spectacular marine wildlife sightings right from your balcony.
Don't Miss The hotel's signature oceanfront dining at The Promenade, sunset cocktails on the historic terrace where celebrities once mingled, and easy beach access to East Beach's volleyball courts and Cabrillo Pavilion Bathhouse, a 1920s architectural gem just next door.
