Canary Hotel

Santa Barbara

LoginSave

On a busy block downtown, this grand multistory hotel has a rooftop pool and sunset-watching perch for cocktails. Stylish accommodations show off four-poster beds and all mod cons. In-room spa services, Saturday yoga classes and bathroom goodies will soothe away stress, but ambient street noise may leave you sleepless (ask for an upper floor). Complimentary fitness-center access and cruiser bicycles.

Hungry? Taste local farm goodness at the hotel's downstairs restaurant, Finch & Fork.

Parking is $35; pets are welcome and stay for free.
