BEST CELEBRITY HOTELS

Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains, Santa Barbara is often called the American Riviera — a sun-soaked blend of coastal charm, Spanish architecture, and effortless sophistication. The city’s hotels capture that signature California luxury: whitewashed villas, palm-lined pools, ocean-view suites, and impeccable service. From the legendary Belmond El Encanto, where Hollywood icons retreat for privacy, to the chic Rosewood Miramar Beach, where celebrities enjoy seaside serenity, Santa Barbara offers a perfect balance of glamor and relaxation. Whether it’s a weekend escape or a quiet hideaway between film shoots, this is where stars come to unwind — surrounded by vineyards, golden beaches, and timeless style.
