The Kimpton Canary Hotel, a Spanish-style gem in the heart of Santa Barbara, blends luxury with relaxed California charm. Steps from State Street and iconic landmarks, the boutique hotel underwent a full renovation in 2023, maintaining its signature hand-painted tiles, wrought iron accent and terracotta floors while introducing contemporary elegance. The 97 rooms, including 22 suites, feature four-poster beds, plush drapery, and cheeky art pieces, creating an aura with warmth and character.
The hotel’s signature restaurant, Finch & Fork, offers farm-to-table cuisine inspired by the Central Coast’s farms and ranches. Guests can enjoy locally sourced dishes, an extensive wine list, and seasonal cocktails.
The Canary boasts Santa Barbara’s largest rooftop pool, stunning 360° views and exclusive amenities, including complimentary evening social hour, rooftop yoga, pet-friendly accommodations, and luxury spa treatments. With over 7,000 square feet of event space and curated experiences, the Canary delivers a quintessential Santa Barbara stay.
