Kimpton Canary Hotel

No pet fee, no size limit and a dog room-service menu downtown

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A Spanish-style Kimpton hotel in downtown Santa Barbara, a short stroll from State Street. Dogs of any size or breed stay free, and they're welcome at the evening wine hour. It suits anyone with a big dog who wants to be in the middle of town.

Why it's in the collection

State Street is on the doorstep for a leashed wander, and the paved path along Cabrillo Boulevard takes leashed dogs along the waterfront. For a proper run, Arroyo Burro Beach (Hendry's) has an off-lead stretch and Douglas Family Preserve sits on the bluff above it.

Best suited for

Dogs aren't allowed in the dining areas, and can only be left in the room if crated and quiet.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

Dogs are welcome in the rooms and at the nightly hosted wine reception in the living room. Dogs aren't in the dining areas, including Finch & Fork, but there's a dog menu on room service. There's no pet relief area on site, so plan on walking out to the street.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
