Café Lido Santa Barbara

This landmark beachfront hotel first opened with great fanfare in 1931, but lost much of its character over time. Today, guests can marvel at its grand staircase, updated porte cochère and bathrooms, and hints of Spanish Revival and Moorish influence throughout the guest rooms.

Picture-perfect pool vibes

Light bites and leisurely delights are daily specials at Café Lido, a Mediterranean-style bar and restaurant situated poolside at Santa Barbara’s beachfront Mar Monte Hotel. Located in a historic arched breezeway, this cool, casual cafe has been reimagined with flair. Custom hand-painted murals, inspired by local flora and fauna, and “pencil sketch” floor tiles help transform the space into a bucolic setting reminiscent of a former artist’s studio. It’s the perfect place to eat, drink and enjoy life by the beach.
