Be sure to visit the Ty Lounge, located adjacent to the hotel lobby, which opens at 3 p.m. daily with live music on Fridays and Saturdays and a Spanish guitar player on Wednesdays (a great mood-setter for the menu of tapas and Spanish wines).
Gayot
"This elegant and yet laid-back hotel is the crown jewel of Santa Barbara's ocean properties."

"This 20-acre Mediterranean-Spanish style property between Butterfly Beach and the Santa Ynez Mountains has red roof tiles, ivory-colored adobe buildings, and "jungle-like grounds.""
