Absolutely loved everything about this property!! Was expecting coffee and breakfast ( no charge ) like the other Pali property I’ve stayed in but this property doesn’t offer that. No big deal but a free coffee station maybe in bar area would have been nice.

From the moment we arrived, Palihouse Santa Barbara felt like a dreamy Mediterranean escape tucked right into downtown. The hotel is beautifully designed—charming, chic, and full of thoughtful details like Smeg fridges, Diptyque toiletries, and plush robes. Our room was cozy, quiet, and perfectly appointed, with a lovely balcony that made morning coffee feel extra special.
