Inn on Summer Hill and Spa

Welcome To The Inn on Summer Hill & Spa

Upon arriving at the Inn on Summer Hill, a Santa Barbara bed and breakfast,
you'll immediately recognize the "attention to detail" as its defining feature.
The stunning Craftsman-style architecture creates the feel of home
for guests traveling from all over. In addition, every room has ocean views.

A friendly, gracious staff member will escort you to your room and acquaint you with the many amenities you will enjoy during your stay. Breakfast is available in the fireside dining room or on your patio or balcony. Afternoon hors d'oeuvres with wine, coffee, tea and cheese await you at three o'clock each day. You can end the day with complimentary dessert before you retire to your fireside room. Don't forget to relax a while in the cozy outdoor spa before you settle in for the night.

We are here to accommodate you. Our concierge staff will assist you with information on things to do, see and experience. We will make arrangements for you with one of our top massage therapists upon request and you can have them perform your treatment in the privacy of your room. We will be expanding our massage menu in the very near future. We can make recommendations and reservations for dinner as you desire. Santa Barbara and Montecito have a large variety of delicious restaurants.

Our Santa Barabara inn is proud of its awards from several agencies, and is proud to be in the distinctive company of the top inns of the nation. Inn on Summer Hill has received the coveted AAA Four Diamond award every year since our opening in 1989.

Summerland - home to the Inn on Summer Hill - is a small, charming beach town. At the turn of the century it was referred to as "spooksville." The town was founded in 1889 by Henry L. Williams. His historic home, built in 1884, is now known as the "Big Yellow House." A few lucky settlers, upon digging for water, hit oil resulting in a full-scale oil boom.

The atmosphere today in Summerland is cozy with a laid-back community atmosphere. In the last several decades, this town of 2500 residents has gone through a revolution. In the 1960's and '70's the town was a blend of surfers, hippies, bikers, artists and the working class. However, in the mid '80's the town evolved into an upscale enclave where many artists, designers, architects, doctors and surfers blended with those appreciating the "Riviera" life style.

Today's visitors include Hollywood celebrities, Presidents and Santa Barbara "locals." Summerland has become a favorite destination, with the perfect summer beach-side atmosphere year round. The delightful park on the bluff above the Pacific Ocean leads to the pristine beaches of Summerland. The village has many beach-side cafes, coffee houses, clothing and furniture boutiques, wine tasting boutiques and spas. In addition it has one of only four, Four Diamond Inns or Hotels in Santa Barbara, awarded by AAA. Summerland is adjacent to Carpinteria, and just south of Montecito and Santa Barbara.
