Hotel

Drift Santa Barbara (Hotel Block 1)

The Drift is a stylish hotel located on Lower State Street, featuring a coffee shop and lively bar in the lobby. These rooms are more compact, and better used as crash pads. If you require the additional space of a larger room or have accessibility concerns, we recommend reserving a room at our second block (Riviera Beach House) or the Harbour View Inn.

Please call 805-966-6586 and inform the front desk that you are booking a room for the Meyer wedding.
