Riviera Beach House

Modern Coastal Vibes in the Heart of Santa Barbara

Located just a 5-minute walk from Stearns Wharf and the beachfront, Riviera Beach House blends sleek, contemporary design with relaxed California charm. With European-style bathrooms, plush bathrobes, and modern platform beds, this boutique hotel offers a stylish base for concert-goers looking to stay close to the action.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just a 2-minute stroll from the Amtrak Station, getting to and from your concert is incredibly easy—no car required. You're also within walking distance of downtown music venues and beachfront stages, so late-night shows are never far. Rooms are quiet and cozy despite the central location, and with a 4:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, there's some flexibility for squeezing in rest between travel and the encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a stylish beachside base
• Solo travelers taking in a dream concert
• Couples planning a romantic music-filled weekend
• Fans who want a chill, comfortable crash-pad after the show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still appreciate sleek design

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t offer on-site dining, you're steps from some of Santa Barbara’s best eateries. Whether it’s a post-show taco spot or a cozy café for a late breakfast, you’ll find plenty of options in easy walking distance. Tea and coffee-making facilities in-room are a welcome touch for those slow mornings after a big night out.

Nightlife Options

From beachfront bars to buzzing downtown lounges, the nightlife scene is all around you. Whether you want to sip craft cocktails or keep the party going after the encore, you’re only a few minutes away from Santa Barbara’s vibrant evening offerings.

What People Say

Guests rave about the stylish, modern decor and unbeatable location. Many appreciate how close it is to both the beach and local venues, making it easy to enjoy Santa Barbara’s music scene on foot. The beds are frequently described as super comfortable, and the hotel’s quiet atmosphere is a bonus for post-concert recovery.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are on the smaller side, and the lack of an in-house restaurant or bar might be a downside for some. That said, the nearby options more than make up for it, and the sleek design makes smart use of the space.

The Bottom Line

A stylish and centrally located choice that puts Santa Barbara’s best concerts, beaches, and nightlife right at your doorstep.
