Perfectly positioned in the Funk Zone neighborhood of downtown Santa Barbara in southern California, Moxy Santa Barbara features 31 stylishly designed guest rooms, Bar Moxy, an outdoor pool, a social space for work and playing games, and a 24-hour marketplace. The pet-friendly hotel is located steps from State Street, diverse restaurants, award-winning microbreweries, wine tasting rooms and shopping. The hotel is managed by Azul Hospitality Group,a San Diego-based hospitality management platform that provides an innovative approach to maximizing performance.
Moxy Santa Barbara sits in the vibrant arts and cultural heart of Santa Barbara known as the "Funk Zone." The hotel has easy access to the entire Funk Zone neighborhood and is just a stone's throw away from the Waterfront and State Street, in downtown Santa Barbara.
The edifice the new hotel calls home began as a youth hostel and still carries the young and communal vibe from its original inception with the recent refresh and design. Designed by Cadiz Collaboration, Moxy Santa Barbara breathes new life into downtown Santa Barbara with playful design, patterns, and artwork. The hotel is modern and stylish, and prides itself on being young, fun, and edgy. From the moment guests step inside, they are welcomed by colorful decor, and an eclectic coastal energy.

At Bar Moxy, the hotel's check-in process diverges from the norm, with guests checking in at the bar and receiving a complimentary signature cocktail along with their room key. Bar Moxy's ambiance encourages guests to stay while they hang out with friends or make new ones over hand-crafted drinks, light bites, and bar games.
Moxy Santa Barbara provides a grab-and-go food service for snacks and beverages, available round-the-clock. In the mornings, complimentary coffee service is offered, with espresso drinks and light breakfast items available for purchase. Intimate meeting and event spaces, an outdoor pool and beach cruiser bikes available for guest use, round out the hotel's many unique amenities.
