This review is for both the hotel as a wedding venue and the hotel!
Working with Jessica at the Kimpton was incredible. She was responsible, flexible, and so great. I was grateful for her attention to detail, and her transparency as well. The rooftop was absolutely magical and we also had an informal drinks at the bar the night before which also was so smooth. We got so many compliments about food at our wedding which can sometimes be hit or miss but we can say that the food, drinks and presentation was awesome. We also got so many compliments about how majestic the views were on the roof. It’s a truly stunning place to get married. We can’t wait to go back and reminisce for this special day in our lives.
As far as the hotel, it is awesome as well! The rooms, service, cleanliness and location were all 5 stars in my book! It’s right in the heart of downtown SB and our room had amazing light and views as well! Can’t wait to come back.

Kimpton you did it again! This hotel was much better than we expected in every category. Diego, Robert, and Ingrid were very helpful at the front desk making sure we got all the benefits from our chase card and they fulfilled any and all requests we made within 5 minutes of texting them. Tristan and Hunter at the valet always had our car ready to go and always greeted us when we returned. This hotel seems like it was recently renovated and all the furniture is high quality. We came with a 2 year old so everything had to be correct and convenient and the staff did everything to make sure we were comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel if you’re coming to Santa Barbara.

I recently stayed at the Kempinski Canary Hotel in Santa Barbara and there are certainly many positive aspects to mention. The location is fantastic, the staff are exceptionally friendly, and the room itself was clean and well-maintained. However, when it comes to the cost-to-value ratio, I was left feeling disappointed.
We booked the Juliette Balcony Suite, and I expected a premium experience given the price, which is on par with what you’d pay for a suite at a Four Seasons. Unfortunately, the suite did not live up to those expectations. The shower was outdated, with a hole in the handle that caused water to leak out. Both the couch and the bed were uncomfortable, making it difficult to relax and truly enjoy the room.
Additionally, during our stay, there seemed to be a wedding or corporate event almost every day. This meant the rooftop terrace, one of the hotel’s key attractions, was often occupied, limiting access to enjoy the views or the sunset in peace. It felt like we missed out on one of the main perks of the hotel because of this constant activity.
While the standard rooms may still be worth considering, I would not recommend booking the suite. For the price point, I expected much more in terms of comfort and overall experience.

We could not have asked for a better venue than the Kimpton Canary to host our reception! Jessica was so easy to work with, answered every question/doubt quickly and was really so flexible with our wedding package. She made everything easy. The venue itself is also so beautiful, overlooking all of Santa Barbara and we have wonderful memories and pictures to look back at.
We also had a chance to stay in the suite and it was such an amazing room with so much space and views with a wrap around balcony. The best place to get ready and relax before and after the big day.
Thank you for everything Kimpton! We had a blast!

Hotel was nice and we liked our room it was beautiful and spacious. I gave it 2 starts because it’s not the hotels fault.. but there was a wedding going on and we felt like we were in the way of everything. We couldn’t use the pool, the bar was packed with wedding guests, and the music for the reception was extremely loud. Congratulations to the married couple, but I wish we stayed elsewhere.
