Wonderful stay - the hotel is unique and centrally located, just a quick walk to the main drag. Room was spacious and very well appointed.

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms are beautifully designed with thoughtful details, luxurious bedding, and everything you need for a comfortable stay. Every corner of the property feels curated and inviting, from the peaceful courtyard to the gorgeous pool area. The location is ideal—close enough to walk to State Street, restaurants, shopping, and the beach, yet tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. If you're looking for a boutique hotel that delivers style, comfort, and impeccable service, Palihouse Santa Barbara is an absolute gem. We left already planning our next visit and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect Santa Barbara getaway.

Everything at the Palihouse was top notch. The staff were wonderful and made sure the stay was a memorable one. The bartenders were really incredible and made my 4 year old really feel at home. The pool was heated to a nice temperature so it was easy to enjoy it despite temps in the 60s. The room was huge and very well appointed! Can't wait to go back some day!
