With boutique accommodations at Mar Monte Hotel, you’re not only mere steps away from the Pacific surf of the American Riviera: You’re also nice and close to Santa Barbara’s great neighborhoods, not least that dynamic district known as the Funk Zone.
Avail yourself of our Hyatt Unbound Collection hospitality here along Cabrillo Boulevard, and you’ll have the shops, tasting rooms, breweries, cafes, galleries, and other pleasures of the Funk Zone delightfully near at hand.
The Funk Zone: Wineries & Breweries to Art Galleries & Museums
Nestled comfortably between the Pacific Ocean and Highway 101, just a stone’s throw from Mar Monte Hotel, the Funk Zone offers a slew of arts-and-culture and epicurean attractions.
Art-filled from its galleries to its muraled walls, the Funk Zone includes such high-profile attractions as MOXI, The Wolf Museum of Exploration & Innovation, the interactive science exhibits of which appeal to young and old alike.
Then there are the eateries, including Loquita Santa Barbara, The Lark, and Lucky Penny, not to mention the irresistible goodness of Helena Avenue Bakery. Boutique wine tasting rooms and other oenophilic hotspots abound, as do such other houses of libations as Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co., Lama Dog Tap Room + Bottle Shop, and Cutler’s Artisan Spirits.
Throw in clothing boutiques and other shops, and you’ve got a pretty darn diverse and utterly hopping little district to explore a mere hop, skip, and a jump from your boutique American Riviera accommodations here at Mar Monte Hotel.
