Inn of the Spanish Garden

Fodor's Review:

A half block from the Presidio in the heart of downtown, this elegant Spanish-Mediterranean retreat celebrates Santa Barbara style, from tile floors, wrought-iron balconies, and exotic plants, to original art by famed local plein-air artists. The luxury rooms have private balconies or patios, fireplaces, Frette linens, and deep soaking tubs. In the evening, you can order a glass of wine and relax in the candlelighted courtyard. This inn is a good choice if you want to park your car for most of your stay and walk to theaters, restaurants, and shuttle buses. Pros: Walking distance from downtown, classic Spanish-Mediterranean style, caring staff. Cons: Far from the beach, not much here for kids.
