Travel Note
This hotel is where the Friday afternoon Mehndi party will take place. It is also close by to where we plan to do welcome drinks on Friday night. Most importantly, it is where all of the transport to the wedding on Saturday will leave from and where the transport will drop off guests after the wedding. The deadline to book a room at this hotel is February 8th.
Hotel
There are a number of other hotels in Santa Barbara that you are welcome to stay at! Because the Mehndi ceremony will be at the Hilton Beachfront, the welcome drinks will be close by that hotel and our transport to the wedding venue will pick up and drop off at the Hilton Beachfront, we recommend staying at one of these other hotels that are walking distance to the Hilton Beachfront: Santa Barbara Inn Mar Monte Hotel Cabrillo Inn at the Beach Blue Sands Inn Le Playa Inn Haley Hotel The Waterman Harbor View Inn If you wanted to venture a little further, other options are Hotel Californian, Kimpton Canary, Hotel Indigo. Just note you will likely need to get ubers/taxi from there to the Hilton Beachfront.
House Or Rental
If you are coming with a large group of friends, you can definitely also look for an Air BnB or VRBO for your group! Just keep in mind you will have to meet at the Hilton Beachfront Santa Barbara Hotel for transport to the wedding on Saturday and that is where the transport will be dropping everyone off late on Saturday night after the wedding. So, it would be smart to book a place that is close to the Hilton Beachfront so you have less traveling to do.
