Kimpton Canary Hotel

We loved returning to the Kimpton Canary. It's conveniently located in the middle of Santa Barbara with well-appointed rooms and lobby. We loved the convenience of the morning coffee bar and the evening wine hour. Our kids loved the afternoon hot cocoa bar and hanging out on the rooftop. Great place for a family vacation and we would highly recommend it!

Would not recommend. I attended with a small group of women. Not hard partying, but wanted a drink at the hotel lobby bar at 9:45 on a Saturday evening (where we were paying to also stay at the hotel). We were told to leave (not so nicely) because there was an event taking place IN the Hotel LOBBY BAR. Once again, ON a Saturday evening at 9:45. Where we were PAYING to stay. Never in my life.

We returned to Canary Hotel for the first time in 4 years. We were very impressed by the renovation which was a nice upgrade yet kept the original charm. The lobby was beautiful and we really enjoyed the open concept with the restaurant - made it very welcoming. The room was phenomenal - great bathroom with a separate bathtub and shower, lovely views, clean, spacious. Casting to the TV a plus too. The staff all go above and beyond, always in a cheerful mood, smiling and greeting you at every turn. Chloe checked us in and was nothing short of charming and friendly. She also noticed when we would return and ensured she constantly welcomed us back. Hermelinda, Acalea, and Daniella in housekeeping were friendly and treated us with care. Sal and Forest both assisted us with our In Room Dinning order and ensured we were well cared for. Lastly, the Manager at the Front Desk Edwin was exceptional and managed the desk and areas accordingly. He was engaging, fun yet always keeping it professional. Canary is a very special place and at the heart of it you will find a great group of people that take pride in what they do and do it well. We look forward to our next visit soon.

The Canary was a beautiful property located in Santa Barbara. Our room was a corner king with a stunning view of downtown and beyond. The location was perfect. Unfortunately, the room was not clean (significant dust, hair, and a fingernail) even though we had to wait to check in. There was also confusion surrounding the $10 food and beverage credit that is part of the daily resort fee. We were not given that when we asked at check out. I've had great experiences at other Kimpton hotels, and sadly this one did not measure up.

The staff at the Kimpton Canary were cheerful, professional, and accommodating. I am a loyal IHG member and noted the attention by front desk to my loyalty to the brand. I also feel welcomed with my dog and amenities for pets such as dog bed/bowls is a nice touch. The bar staff were excellent and enjoyed the espresso martini. We were served two of our nights by same bartender which was fun and loved crafting cocktails. Chole at the front desk was very helpful and remembered us throughout our stay which went the extra mile. We will definitely come back to Kimpton Canary.
