The Upham Hotel

Emplacement de premier ordre. Cottage petit mais fonctionnel et environnement tres au calme.

Unique, cozy

We loved our stay at the Upham! We had a great room in the Lincoln building! The room was so clean, and big! We even ate at the hotel restaurant - highly recommend! Close to all of the fun spots in Santa Barbara! Can’t wait to come back!!

Parking was easy

This hotel was opened in 1876 by a relative of Abraham Lincoln. It is a really charming property and our favorite of the 4 hotels we stayed at during our trip up the California coast. It was the only hotel that still provided daily maid service unless you put out your "do not disturb" sign. Personally, I only ever need towel and trash service for a short stay, but I was so happy that the hotel is doing well enough to continue this tradition. The gardens around the property were beautiful and well-maintained. Everywhere we looked there were employees tending the garden, cleaning the property, and making repairs (the gazebo was being repaired while we were there). We saw more employees at this small, boutique hotel than at any of the larger hotels we stayed at. It is basically a bed and breakfast, since they provide a bountiful continental breakfast in the mornings, wine in the evenings, and cookies and milk at night. The location is so close to State Street (the main street in downtown Santa Barbara) that we just walked to breakfast, lunch and dinner, unless we wanted to go somewhere a bit farther away. We would gladly stay there again!
