Stay Along the Railway

The renovation includes a transformation of the hotel’s indoor swimming pool to make space for The Yard, a contemporary outdoor courtyard with lounge furniture, heaters and games. The adjacent lounge, The Boiler Room, offers craft cocktails and a wide dining menu. The hotel’s new fitness center includes Peloton bikes alongside best-in-class fitness equipment.
The hotel is just a short drive from Santa Barbara, but off the beaten path, near wineries, vineyards and tasting rooms, in the green hills of Santa Ynez.
