The Upham Hotel Review
Offering a manicured garden, The Upham Hotel welcomes guests in the very heart of Santa Barbara, nearly a 10-minute ride from Shoreline Public Park. Set relatively near the compact Santa Barbara Museum of Art, this hotel features an American-style restaurant serving American cuisine.
A free continental breakfast is served every morning. Guests are invited to the on-site Louie's restaurant to indulge in culinary delights. To cater to every palate, it offers a gluten free menu.
Rocky Nook Park is approximately 19 minutes on foot from the property, while Stearns Wharf Harbor is 10 minutes' drive away. Staying just a few steps from Our Lady of Sorrows Church, the Upham is surrounded by gardens.
The accommodation allows you to enjoy such natural sights as Turtle Pond just a 10-minute walk away. No matter the religion, travellers prefer to visit Old Mission Santa Barbara Catholic Church, a popular place of worship set within 2.3 km of the 3-star Upham Hotel.
The 55 rooms at the accommodation are air-conditioned, some of which feature a stone fireplace together with a coffee machine. For more comfort a hair dryer and toiletries along with a tub and a shower are provided.
Guests will find De la Vina & Micheltorena bus stop next to this property, a 5-minute walk away.
