Canary Hotel


Fashionable and fun, canary hotel brings full-service luxury to the heart of downtown Santa Barbara, California. Just like its popular siblings in Santa Monica, Shutters on the Beach and Casa del Mar, the hotel puts a premium on personalized service and attention to detail, while indulging business guests with stylish amenities and a host of activities, day or night.

Interiors by designer Michael Smith whisk guests away to the islands off the coast of Spain. Spanish tiles and Moroccan-themed antique textiles, plus lush plants, bubbling fountains, and a staff trained in the “we can at Canary” philosophy of service set a perfect stage for meetings. In the 97 guest rooms and suites, a neutral palette, accented by splashes of color, create veritable sanctuaries for relaxation.

The hotel's 5,000 square feet of meeting space proves equally luxurious. Five flexible function rooms host parties of 10 to 200 guests and feature a full range of audiovisual equipment—plus distinctly local themes: The Channel Island Conference Room exhibits Macduff Everton's stunning photography of area beaches and the Channel Islands. Another highlight: the rooftop terrace, aptly named The Perch. Here, groups can sip cocktails and take in 360-degree views of the Pacific Ocean, Channel Islands, and Santa Ynez Mountains.

Downstairs, Coast Restaurant & Bar takes its design cue from the oceanfront Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica. Steps away, meeting participants take in the many attractions of Santa Barbara, including State Street's sophisticated shops, restaurants, art galleries, and numerous cultural treasures found throughout the city.

I stayed at the Canary 1/13/2010 - 1/15/2010 and was extremely pleased by the service and the wonderful guest room accommodation. The room was cozy but also luxurious, the guest room and bathroom were very well appointed.
I would highly recommend the property to individuals, groups and families.

Great for Rooftop Welcome receptions and Dinners. Food & Beverage Presentation was exceptional and food was very good. Hotel needs a fitness room and spa on location. Sales Team experience was non very satisfactory, meeting was in the middle of a staff change and communication about my meeting was very confusing and not up to the standard I was expecting.

The new Canary is fabulous! The renovation is just what they needed! The service is exceptional, they really go above and beyond. The new restaurant and bar provides a great atmosphere. The added touches to the decor throughout the hotel are beautiful and I definitely suggest using the rooftop for a reception... the views are unbeatable. Well done Canary.
