Hotel Details

Location

The Presidio is on Upper State Street, a 15-minute walk to downtown and a 3 km walk to the beach and Stearns Wharf.

Santa Barbara's main dining and shopping corridor is a short stroll away, with numerous restaurants, bars, and theaters within a few blocks. The Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History is less than 3 km away, and UC Santa Barbara is a 15-minute drive. The Santa Barbara Airport is 14 km from the property, and the train station is approximately 2 km straight down State Street. The free bikes make it easy to reach the waterfront and explore the Funk Zone, while the property's position at the quieter end of State Street still provides easy car access to the beach and pier.

Wellness and Leisure

Free bicycle hire and a sundeck with seating and heaters offer casual outdoor leisure.

The hotel provides complimentary bicycles for exploring Santa Barbara, a popular way to reach the waterfront and downtown. The outdoor sundeck on the second floor is furnished with sunbathing chairs and heaters for cooler evenings, offering a pleasant spot to relax. No gym, spa, pool, or other leisure facilities are on site.
