Walk to the best of
Santa Barbara

West Beach is two blocks away. State Street, the Funk Zone, and the waterfront are all an easy walk. Arrive by train and you’re across the street from your suite.

Inside, vintage furnishings and thoughtful details give every room a point of view. Four suites in the Inn. Two in the Villa. Apartment-style space to stretch out, and a city worth stepping out for.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Santa Barbara, right outside.

Two blocks from West Beach, with the Funk Zone, State Street, and the waterfront close by. From this corner of Chapala Street, you can make a whole day of going out on foot.

01

West Beach

West Beach gives you room to stretch out on the sand with the wharf on one side and the harbor on the other. Bring a towel and a good book; ambition can take the afternoon off.

Two blocks from The Marlowe

02

Funk Zone

In the Funk Zone, old warehouses make room for wine tasting, galleries, and some very good meals. Follow the murals, find a local pour, and leave the rest of the afternoon open.

Wine tasting · Murals and galleries · Cafés and restaurants

03

State Street

Turn onto State Street for boutiques, cafés, and open-air paseos tucked between Spanish-style buildings. Start with a little browsing, stay for dinner, and see what the evening has in mind.

Downtown shopping and dining · Open-air paseos

04

Waterfront

Walk the wooden planks of Stearns Wharf, then follow the coastal path toward the working harbor. Fishing boats, ocean views, and the breakwater give you plenty of reasons to take the long way home.
