The Kimpton’s Canary Hotel in Santa Barbara
The Canary Hotel by Kimpton is truly a relaxing getaway in the heart of Santa Barbara, CA. After a morning spent on the San Ysidro Waterfall Trail in Montecito, the Go Hike It Team retreated to this hip sanctuary for an afternoon by the pool (in January nonetheless) and for a Saturday night stay.
The beauty of California is that the weather can easily climb into the 70’s in winter, and we took full advantage of the amenities of this beautiful downtown Santa Barbara hotel just 1 block from famous State Street, which features a diverse selection of shops and restaurants.
Its newly-remodeled rooftop pool is peaceful, and there are plenty of thoughtful amenities that surround it, including an outdoor fireplace, padded lounge chairs, colorful kumquat trees, and aloe vera to help heal those (hike induced) sunburns. For an even more stunning view, visit the pool at night for a sparkling evening of Italian lights and cozy patio furniture. It’s a perfect backdrop for the Southern California hiker!
Why We Liked It?
The Canary Hotel tailors to an active lifestyle! From complimentary yoga mats to stretch out after a hike to a dedicated staff to support your needs, The Canary does an excellent job tailoring to the diverse interests of hikers like you! For example, if you have more energy after a Santa Barbara hike, the hotel offers complimentary beach cruisers to enjoy. And if you want to bring your dog to enjoy a dog friendly coastal hike, the hotel allows guests to bring their dogs for no added fee. Overall, The Go Hike It Team really enjoyed its stay here and hopes to return for another Santa Barbara Hike!
