A special moment in a milestone year. Hotel Santa Barbara has been named Hospitality Business of the Year by the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce, as part of the Stars of the South Coast Constellation Awards.

We’re proud to carry forward a legacy rooted in this community, and even more excited for what’s ahead. 🥂

Hospitality Business of the Year – Hotel Santa Barbara

Hotel Santa Barbara has been part of downtown’s story since 1876, standing through the 1925 earthquake and evolving with the city it calls home. More than a hotel, it has long been a place of welcome, connection, and community.

Today, through a thoughtful revitalization and the reimagined 1926 Lobby Bar, it bridges past and present, creating a space where locals and visitors come together and where hospitality still feels personal.

This recognition is about more than a building, it is about honoring the people and places that keep Santa Barbara vibrant. Join the community in celebrating this year’s winners and the stories behind them on May 28 at the Rosewood Miramar. Tickets are now on sale.
