Hotel
We chose to get married at the Hotel Californian because we loved how everyone would be able to stay downtown and enjoy each other all weekend. We would LOVE for our guests to try and stay on property if it works for you, but also understand if that does not work within your budget. We appreciate you coming down to Santa Barbara to celebrate us! Please email Reservations@thehotelcalifornian.com for a discounted room rate in "Seville" rooms. Limited "Seville" rooms are available, but a discounted rate will be available for other room types. Spanish Colonial Revival architecture and modern interior décor from celebrity designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, the Hotel Californian is the new center of the Santa Barbara waterfront. Incorporating the façade of the original 1925 Hotel Californian, this 121 room hotel features a rooftop pool & deck with panoramic views of the coastline. Located steps from the beach, adjacent to Santa Barbara’s vibrant Funk Zone, and Turkish-inspired spa.

Flight
The Santa Barbara airport is located about 15 minutes from Downtown Santa Barbara. There is one direct flight in and out each day on Alaska Airlines. It arrives at 12:30pm and takes off about 2pm daily (times vary depending on time of year). Additional flights are available on other airlines, but will not be direct. Another option would be to fly into LAX or Burbank Airports and rent a car. It is roughly and hour and a half drive without traffic. We suggest most guests arrive on Thursday or Friday if you plan on attending the Welcome Dinner.

The Harbor View Inn is also a great option as it is right next door to the Hotel Californian and located across from the waterfront.
