About this property

The Library Suite - The Marlowe Boutique Hotel

The Library Suite is the most spacious and sun-drenched of all our units, perfect for those who appreciate a little extra room to unwind. Its beautiful sunroom, complete with a desk and vintage typewriter, invites moments of inspiration or quiet reflection. A separate den with a pull-out couch adds to the versatility, making it ideal for lounging or hosting extra guests. Bright and airy, the suite also boasts a balcony overlooking Chapala Street.

The Marlowe, a vintage seaside inn nestled two blocks from the beach, faces the historic train station in the heart of Santa Barbara. Inside, authentic vintage furnishings, thoughtfully restored with an eco-friendly touch, pair perfectly with new luxury sheets, towels, bathrobes, and toiletries—blending past and present into the ideal Santa Barbara getaway. The soft glow of period lamps casts long shadows, while the ocean breeze drifts through open windows. Just a short walk from the pier, downtown shops, and restaurants, The Marlowe invites you to experience old Santa Barbara, where sustainability meets timeless charm.

Excellent, beautiful, and comfortable!!

The location, accommodations, and design are excellent! Comfortable bed, great work space, and a lovely little balcony to sit outside. The location couldn't have been better, as you can walk to so many restaurants, stores, and the beach. Even with everything around, it was very quiet (except the Amtrak train horn, which we loved hearing)! I will note that the TVs are as big as pictured and you have to be careful not to run into the one in the bedroom when walking to the far side of the bed.The host was phenomenal - easy communication and very generous! They went out of their way to make sure everything was right for us. Highly recommend!
