Rich Reports introduces you to Drift Santa Barbara, a gorgeous, new accommodation located on the charming Avenue of the Arts, you can enjoy a cocktail bar that is dressed in swanky attire, and 45 opulent rooms that are stylishly decorated and furnished.

An exciting new hotel is now being built right next to Santa Barbara's beautiful State Street promenade right a couple of blocks from that promenade. There is a new Drift hospitality outlet in California, which marks the brand's first presence in the state and marks the brand's debut in the country. 

There are 45 stylish rooms at this new luxury boutique hotel located in a beautifully restored 1920s building, which opened its doors for the first time on February 1, providing a coffee shop, a bar, and a beautiful courtyard. This coastal city is home to many of the city's artisan shops, breweries, beaches, and parks which are all within walking distance from this hotel located along the coast.

As part of AutoCamp's luxury glamping camps in the Yosemite National Park, the Mediterranean-style façade has been designed by Anacapa (which also designed AutoCamp's luxury glamping camp in the park). The exterior blends seamlessly with the modern coastal décor of the facility. A former Scientology campus as well as a church had operated out of the building previously, when it was used as a Scientology campus.

A relaxing earthy palette will be used to enliven the common areas that guests are able to use, in addition to natural materials and an excellent décor akin to the first hotel Drift built in Cabo, with natural materials and a relaxing style similar to that of the company's first hotel in Cabo. 

It also features an oversized arched window and suspended floor joists that add to the minimalist aesthetic of the space, as well as artwork by local photographers, Will Adler, and ceramics crafted by local artisans that contribute to the hotel's minimal elegance.

The hotel offers several rooms with spectacular views of the Santa Ynez Mountains as well as the historic State Street, as well as balconies in select rooms. In the hotel's signature penthouse, guests will find a large patio, a fire pit, and breathtaking views of the coast, giving them a unique experience that will last a lifetime.

“We’re proud to introduce the Drift Hotels brand to our home state of California,” says Phillip Bates, the co-founder and CEO of TMC Hospitality, which owns and operates Drift Hotels, in a press release that was issued this week.

 “Drift is a unique hotel experience geared toward bringing travelers and the community together, and the Santa Barbara locale will be a harmonious addition to the energetic State Street.”

There are both a number of dining concepts that make full use of the hotel's central location, which makes it easy to access the hotel's amenities. 

In order to evoke the surf culture of Southern California, Dawn offers coffee and pastries that are influenced by the surf culture of that area in order to capture the essence of that culture as it tries to capture the character of that culture through its coffee and pastries. 

With its quaint and comfortable ambience, Dusk offers a cocktail menu that includes fresh seafood tostadas and craft cocktails that are surrounded by dramatic dark steel and wood furnishings that are a nod to raw and agave themes, which is complemented by the restaurant's cocktail menu.
