Accommodations
Hotel Room Block
UPDATE - As of May 23, our entire Hilton hotel block has been booked for the night of Saturday, August 13.
Santa Barbara accommodations can be expensive and limited this summer, given that August is peak season and there are a record number of weddings in the area this year. We have made a list of recommended stays below. We recommend finalizing your accommodations no later than June 15th.
Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort
We have a secured a limited number of discounted rooms at the Hilton for the nights of Friday, August 12 and Saturday, August 13. This will be a great option for those who wish to stay at the same hotel where the wedding reception will take place.
Other Stays
Mason Beach Inn
This beautiful boutique hotel is located over one mile from the Hilton Santa Barbara, and just steps away from the Santa Barbara Wharf and the Funk Zone. As of May 23, there are 25 rooms available.
We were also able to secure a modest discount of 5% off market rate. Clicking the link below will take you to the discounted booking page. We recommend comparing this with other available discounted rates.
Cheshire Cat Inn & Cottages
Located one mile from Old Mission Santa Barbara (where our ceremony will take place), the Cheshire Cat Inn & Cottages is a charming Victorian bed-and-breakfast. Rates are good, but there are only a handful of rooms remaining, so we recommend booking soon.
Airbnb
There are several excellent Airbnb stays currently available and can be an affordable option for families and those traveling in groups. Because August is peak season in Santa Barbara, we recommend booking soon.
