This elegant suite features a beautiful sunroom with a writing desk and even a vintage typewriter, inviting moments of inspiration or quiet reflection. A separate cozy den with a pull-out sofa bed adds versatility, whether you want a comfy reading nook, a movie night lounge, or an additional sleeping space for extra guests. The decor blends classic charm and light luxury: think hardwood floors, curated antique pieces, and airy linens bathed in natural light. French doors lead to a private balcony overlooking charming Chapala Street, where you can sip morning coffee as Santa Barbara comes to life. Like all our suites, the Library Suite includes a full kitchen and hotel-style amenities, so you can enjoy a boutique hotel experience with the privacy of your own apartment.

Each of the inn’s boutique suites is thoughtfully designed, featuring authentic period furnishings updated with eco-friendly touches and indulgent amenities like luxury linens and spa-quality toiletries. By day, sunlight and ocean breezes fill the rooms; by night, the soft glow of antique lamps creates a warm, intimate ambiance reminiscent of old Santa Barbara.
