About The Steward, Santa Barbara, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Tucked between the ocean and mountains in California’s idyllic central coast, The Steward, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel by Marriott offers an all-suite boutique hotel experience on 4.7 acres of land. Newly opened in late July of 2023, our Santa Barbara hotel offers travelers and locals alike a serene retreat within a lush garden setting.

Throughout the property, each detail is infused with care - from custom local artwork, a lobby library lounge, lush lawns for picnicking, room amenities, all with a nature-driven aesthetic. Enjoy resort-style amenities like an outdoor swimming pool and hot tub, daybed swings, complimentary bicycles, lawn games, yoga lawn, and state-of-the-art fitness center in our renovated historic barn.

From elegantly simple weddings and gorgeously floral bridal showers to inspiring team-building retreats and social events, hosting an event at our hotel in Santa Barbara will be an unforgettable experience. Our Garden Room provides an indoor meeting space with doors leading out to the courtyard. Our lush lawns right by the historic Sexton House provides ample space for an outdoor gathering. On-site catering from Terra, our restaurant and bar, will delight guests with locally sourced West Coast fare and organic botanical-infused cocktails.

Relax and unwind in our spacious one-bedroom suites with natural wood elements, a dining nook, Fellow Kettle with complimentary California-grown pour over coffee, a mini-fridge, smart TVs, and a separate living room with a queen-sized sofa sleeper. Refresh in your spa-inspired bathroom with all-natural bath amenities by Pharmacopeia. We recommend a Garden or Pool View Suite for a restful retreat.

Our Santa Barbara hotel is conveniently located less than 2 miles from Santa Barbara Airport (SBA), perfect for out-of-town travelers. Your central coast retreat experience awaits.
