Every single thing about this property is amazing! From the moment we arrived we were greeted with friendly smiles and warm welcomes. Mason at valet was extremely helpful getting our parking situated. Ben at front desk made our stay exceptional! Our check in was slightly delayed and without missing a single beat, offered us drink vouchers for the inconvenience. Completely unexpected but extremely appreciated. All of the restaurant staff were very friendly and quick! Aside from the amazing staff, the property itself has so much to offer. Complimentary coffee/tea in the mornings, wine hour, access to the Golds Gym next door and conveniently close to the downtown area. 1000% would stay here again!

Fantastic boutique hotel. Room was very nice and spacious with the most comfortable bed, excellent restaurant, helpful staff and ideal location right off State Street. The rooftop pool and lounge is very cool and has amazing views. Will definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Santa Barbara.

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.
