Palihouse is our go-to for a romantic 4-night getaway. The decor, the service, the ambiance with fountain and courtyard beneath our balcony … perfection.

Bed was comfortable. Hotel was cute and staff was friendly. I didn’t think there was enough amenities in the room, like enough, bottled waters, cream, Nespresso . It was a nice touch to be able to rent bikes.

Short stay
The property was so great when it first opened. This time around about 3 yrs later it already appears a little tired. The bed is in desperate need of changing out. Soft and saggy. Lighting in the room is not adequate. We were missing a chair on the balcony, only one robe with an extra hanger. Just not the same

Absolutely loved everything about this property!! Was expecting coffee and breakfast ( no charge ) like the other Pali property I’ve stayed in but this property doesn’t offer that. No big deal but a free coffee station maybe in bar area would have been nice.

Great hotel, not great for “workcation”
Hotel should upgrade its Wi-Fi, which was weak and unstable, and did not comply with current network security standards that many companies require employees to use.

This was our second time coming back to this beautiful hotel. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, our room was spacious although because we were on the first floor we could hear through the walls. But overall a pleasant stay, 10/10 will definitely be returning.

From the moment we arrived, Palihouse Santa Barbara felt like a dreamy Mediterranean escape tucked right into downtown. The hotel is beautifully designed—charming, chic, and full of thoughtful details like Smeg fridges, Diptyque toiletries, and plush robes. Our room was cozy, quiet, and perfectly appointed, with a lovely balcony that made morning coffee feel extra special.
