Tucked between the Pacific Ocean and the sprawling Santa Ynez Mountains just north of downtown Santa Barbara, The Leta Santa Barbara Goleta, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, is a boutique property featuring 158 guest rooms and a dreamy Golden State atmosphere. “Hotel guests and locals enjoy our signature restaurant, CAYA (Come As You Are) Restaurant and Bar, as well as our Leta Bar, which offers live music and comedy nights throughout the month,” says Barry Dorsey, general manager of the hotel. Hotel eventgoers will also appreciate the on-site heated swimming pool and fitness center.
“This hotel is an oasis for travelers with a mountain backdrop,” Dorsey adds. “You arrive and instantly relax and slow down. Our personalized and caring service ensure ‘you do you’ while you are with us.” For groups, he notes several on-site options for gathering. Consider the 1,200-square-foot Leta Bar and Patio, the 1,500-square-foot Gaviota Room and Patio, the 3,120-square-foot Rincon Ballroom, among others, all of which work best for groups of 50 to 100 attendees. Planners can expect available catering, audiovisual technology, and event planning assistance as needed from the hotel.
At the signature restaurant, dine on coastal California fare made with fresh ingredients. “We have a restaurant and banquet kitchen and will execute menus and beverage options based on [a] customer’s event and desire,” Dorsey says. “The Leta allows guests to have a customized experience. This is a place where everyone gets to be someone and feel like they belong.”
