Mar Monte Hotel stands on East Cabrillo Boulevard in Santa Barbara, close to the beach and the city's relaxed waterfront. Spanish influenced architecture shapes the main building, with an historic porte cochère marking the arrival and Palmoro House extending the accommodation nearby. Rooms use a bright, informal approach that matches the oceanfront leisure areas and casual dining spaces. The Funk Zone, coastal gardens and nearby trails sit beyond the property, while the tiled details and sheltered courtyards retain the character of a California seaside hotel.
