Casa Riviera - Boutique Apartments in Downtown Santa Barbara

Twelve self-catering apartments fill this converted downtown Santa Barbara property on Garden Street, each with a private entrance and full kitchen rather than a hotel-style room. Location favors independence: State Street's shops and restaurants sit an eight-minute walk south, with the Amtrak station and the harbor beach both under a mile away.

Units include dining tables, washer-dryers, and coffee machines, suited to longer stays or families needing high chairs and disinfected turnover between guests. Parking is on-site, a rarity in this part of downtown.

The building draws business travelers and extended-stay guests over typical weekend visitors.
