Harbor View Inn | Santa Barbara, California | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Santa Barbara, California

4 stars

You’ll feel relaxed as soon as you walk through the door of the Harbor View Inn, Santa Barbara. Once the friendly staff have welcomed you to their Spanish villa-style retreat, it’s time to really chill out. Head to the oceanfront heated pool where you can relax with a cocktail, or the beach is just over the road if you prefer the ocean waves. Speaking of just over the road, Stearns Wharf is there, which is the oldest working wood wharf in California, and it offers restaurants, shops and even a small aquarium!

“Best place to stay in Santa Barbara!”

Sep 14, 2025Robert H

We stayed at the Harbor View Inn at the end of August. The hotel, the room, the staff, the pool and the location were all excellent! The rate was reasonable and we will definitely stay there again. Our Amtrak to Seattle was very late and the people at the desk were very gracious about us hanging out in the lobby so we didn’t have to hang out at the train station. We were disappointed that we couldn’t stay there for two nights when we returned from Seattle because of some health reasons but we will be back.

“It was a great short stay! Wish could have stayed lil more.”

We loved the property, the room and the area. Special thanks to Scott, Cameron who helped us make a correct descision to choose a room type as it was a last minute booking. We will certainly be back for a bit longer stay! Every person in guest Services we met through out our stay was fantastic and helpful.

“Lovely Hotel with Ocean Views and Convenient Location”

Sep 01, 2025Monica H

Harbor View Inn is my favorite hotel in Santa Barbara. I have been staying here annually to visit family and relax by the beach. The hotel is conveniently located at the corner of State Street and Cabrillo and many rooms have lovely ocean views. I stayed here during Fiesta and could watch the parade from the balcony of my room in the West Wing overlooking Cabrillo and the beach. There is a well maintained jacuzzi and a nice grassy area around the pool. If you want to be closer to shopping on State Street you can request to stay in the lux North and South Wings along State Street. Parking facilities are convenient. There is extremely good value in the room rate for the lovely rooms and amenities. I highly recommend this hotel. Staying here has become an annual tradition and some years I have stayed multiple times.
