Santa Barbara is home to dozens of hotels within different price ranges. Below are just a few that we have personally stayed at and recommend.
SANTA BARBARA:
If possible, we recommend staying within Santa Barbara’s downtown area, as it will be a short distance to all wedding locations for the weekend.
September is both back to school + wedding season which makes Santa Barbara extremely popular. We recommend booking lodging as soon as possible as things will book up!
This is a splurge but wanted to include it as this is where we celebrated our engagement.
GOLETA & CARPINTERIA
Santa Barbara is sandwiched in-between 2 other great towns: Goleta, CA (15 mins North of SB) and Carpinteria, CA (15 mins South of SB). Below are a few recommendations for lodging in each town.
If you plan on staying outside of Santa Barbara, please know that sometimes Ubers can be extremely difficult to get later in the night!
