Top Santa Barbara Hotel Reviews

The Upham Hotel

The Upham Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at the Upham Hotel in Santa Barbara was nothing short of outstanding! From the moment we arrived until the time we checked out, every member of the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed. Their friendliness, professionalism, and attention to detail were simply incredible and truly elevated our entire experience. Our room was exceptionally spacious, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable. The beds and pillows were among the most comfortable we've ever slept on, making for a wonderfully restful night's sleep after exploring Santa Barbara. The location couldn't have been more perfect. Everything we wanted to see and do was just a short walk or short-drive away, making it easy to enjoy the charm, shopping, restaurants, and beauty of downtown Santa Barbara without ever needing to drive. The in-house restaurant was an unforgettable experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was nothing short of magical. Every meal felt special, with attentive staff who made us feel like honored guests. My wife and I absolutely fell in love with the Upham Hotel. It's one of those rare places that combines historic charm, exceptional comfort, amazing food, and world-class hospitality into an unforgettable stay. We left already talking about when we can come back. If you're looking for the perfect place to stay in Santa Barbara, look no further—you won't be disappointed. Highly, highly recommended!"
