The Wedding Website of Shannon Hansen and Manish Patel
Some recommendations for our guests are noted below. We recommend booking accommodation as soon as possible as it's one of the busiest seasons in Santa Barbara. And if you stay through the weekend, it's Santa Barbara's annual Fiesta celebration - quite possibly the most fun time of year for all the locals! Please note, there are dozens of hotels in Santa Barbara that fit every budget. These are just a few of our favorites but of course you really can't go wrong anywhere you stay! Transportation to the Ceremony and Reception venue will be from a central location in downtown Santa Barbara - like The Hilton or Hotel Milos.

Flight

Santa Barbara Airport

This is by far the easiest option for flying if you don't want to drive the 90 minutes north from Los Angeles. Of course LAX will be your most affordable flight option. We are seeing direct flights from $350 or so out of New York at the moment into LAX.

Hotel

Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort

Large beachfront resort where we anticipate the majority of our guests will stay. Book as early as possible for the best rates. This resort is spacious and walking distance to The Funk Zone, beaches and Stearn's Wharf. The Hilton offers 100% refund up to 48 hours from your travel dates and if you stay through the long weekend, they offer a special "long weekender" package with a significantly reduced rate. We also found that when we booked via Kayak.com, or Booking.com the nightly rate was substantially cheaper for a mid-week stay.

Hotel

Hotel Californian

Swanky accommodations in the heart of downtown in the American Riviera. Hotel Californian is a five-star luxury hotel within walking distance to everything downtown Santa Barbara has to offer. It also has a rooftop pool and bar and great onsite restaurants. We will be staying here on 8/3 and 8/4.

Hotel

Hotel Indigo

A more affordable option also in the heart of State Street in downtown Santa Barbara. Also home to Santo Mezcal, one of Santa Barbara's most popular Mexican restaurants. This hotel has a younger vibe and mid-week rates begin at $250.

Hotel

Kimpton Goodland or Kimpton Canary

5650 Calle Real
Goleta, CA 93117
 (805) 964-6241

If your idea of the ultimate Southern California retreat is longboards, poolside cocktails and coastal cuisine, you've found your place in the sun at one of the best Santa Barbara hotels around. The Kimpton Goodland is located just a few miles north from downtown, no further than a 10-12 minute drive. For a higher price point, The Kimpton Canary is the Kimpton's luxury boutique hotel located in downtown Santa Barbara and home to one of the top restaurants off State Street, Finch & Fork. There is also an amazing rooftop pool. Surrounded by the splendor of red-tiled roofs, palm trees and hidden paseos brimming with boutiques and cafes, Kimpton Canary Hotel is perfectly situated for the ultimate escape.

House Or Rental

Airbnb

Santa Barbara and Montecito have a decent amount of Airbnb and VRBO rentals available and there are some amazing options all around the city. This do tend to book up and often have a minimum required so we recommend you look into them sooner rather than later if you plan on renting a house for a larger group. Since we have moved our wedding date up, we may be a little late to the game and inventory may be low.
