The Steward, Santa Barbara, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Escape to a lush Central Coast hideaway, tucked between the mountains and the Pacific just outside the heart of Santa Barbara. Set on 4.7 acres of the historic Sexton House estate, The Steward blends California’s natural beauty with a rich horticultural past, surrounded by heritage trees, gardens and some of the state’s oldest bird-of-paradise plants. Wander the grounds, unwind poolside, gather around the fire or settle into the relaxed rhythm of indoor-outdoor living. Thoughtful, nature-inspired interiors and a focus on sustainability bring new life to the property’s history, creating a modern retreat that feels distinctly Santa Barbara.
