Drift Santa Barbara, a Member of Design Hotels

Santa Barbara Modern Eclectic Ideal for: Design Savvy Travelers, Urban Explorers

SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES

Our take

Mid-century bones done right, Drift lands you steps from State Street's best eating and shopping without the sanitized blandness of a resort corridor. This is for the design-literate traveler who wants a boutique stay with real character and downtown Santa Barbara on the doorstep. If you're chasing pool decks, spa menus, and acreage, look elsewhere — this isn't that. But for a sharp, well-considered few nights in one of California's most quietly glamorous cities, it's the edit you'd make.

Notable Features

  • Unique Mid-Century Modern Design
  • Close proximity to State Street attractions

💡 Insider Tip

"For a quieter stay, request a room on the second floor facing away from the street."
