My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our anniversary and we were thrilled with the entire experience. The renovations are beautiful and all of the amenities are well thought-out. The building itself is gorgeous and I wish we had more time to stay and enjoy the atrium because it was so peaceful and thoughtfully decorated. The beds were comfortable and the kitchenette had all the utensils and plates/bowls we could need. I also really appreciated the filtered water spout so we could stay hydrated throughout the weekend. We'll definitely come back to stay here next time we are in SB!

Gorgeous accommodations. We had a comfortable stay and the place had everything you could need. Very thoughtful. The atrium was picturesque as well. If I had to nitpick, location wasn’t super central to things but still fairly decent.

The location of Casa Iglesia is absolutely ideal if you are seeking a central location in Santa Barbara. The walk through beautiful neighborhoods to The Mission and rose garden is lovely. We also walked into downtown and made it to the beach. This property is out of the busy area but close enough to get there quickly and efficiently. We also highly recommend eating at Bistro Amasa. It is located a couple of blocks away and the food and staff are spectacular. There is ample parking and it was so nice to be able to charge our Tesla during our stay at Casa Iglesia. The accommodations are sleek and clean with high quality fixtures.
